AlwaysON VPN - H:\ drive not mapping

I have user & device tunnel setup and connected, H:\ drive maps via AD not GPO.

Other drives mapped via GPO work fine and connect, H drive will occasionally appear but usually not there.

I have added domain controllers and the server where the files exist into the device profile.
I have GPO set to wait for network at logon also.

No idea where to go from here.

Thought about adding H drive via GPO, on top of the AD setup but still looking into that. any help would be appreciated.

    I have added a GPO to add the H drive as well as keeping he ADUC setting intact, not a fix but a workaround. Seems good so far.

    Hi,

    In regards to your issue, here're my suggestions:

    1. Can you please provide the specific method you use to map drive H:\ 'via AD not GPO'? Do you map the H:\ manually on the local DC itself? Because the common method to map a drive in AD environment is use GPO on DC.

    1. When H:\ disappears, can you contact it directly with the share path? It will test the network connection.
    2. After my research, mapping drive via GPO is the most secure and stable way. Since other drives mapped via GPO work fine, I would suggest you to use the same method on H:\
