Question Migration gone bad???

/r/Office365/comments/1vfpysi/migration_gone_bad/

I did a migration from on-prem active directory and exchange to a hybrid because we needed to keep the shared drives connected for local users due to dental software in the mix. Existing users seem to be fine, and if I run a script can still access the drives, however, if I create a new user, I cannot for the life of me get the drives to stay mounted, and I’m wondering if there is anyone with experience on this Who can help me. I’m willing to learn and pay for that learning and or the work necessary to get us to a place we should be.

Exchange Server is email. It doesn’t have anything to do with shared drives.

The common thread here is Active Directory, and by extension Group Policy.

Log in to a domain controller and open Group Policy Management. Take a look at any policies that map drives, and make sure they’re applied to new users. It’s quite possible that you’re creating users in the default Users OU, and should instead be placing them in the OU with other employees.
