Is there a way to get the changes applied after the user logged in ? We have Cisco VPN. So when the user restarts the PC, it is not connected to network. then they launch VPN and connects to our network. So if we make a change to User's profile Home folder path in AD, then how can i force the device to map that drive ? I used Klist purge but it seems to be not working. any other way i can force so that it maps the drive. Again it is not a GPO so cannot run the gpudpate /force. Also tried lock and unlock the device, but still the behavior is same. So how can force the changes that are applied to users properties in AD on to the client machine when they on VPN.

    This is not a recommended practice, consider using other methods like OneDrive or SharePoint or other repositories where supporting remove access. In general when user is connected to VPN, they should be able to access the map drive.

    Hello - Yes if we map the drive manually after they connect to VPN it is working. But my question is more about how we can force the client to get the changes that were done on the Profile folder. anything similar to klist process ?
