Error when mapping drive with read only permissions - unc path works fine

$

Hello,

we have user shares that we map to drive H:. the shares are in the form \\server\user\<loginname>. The shares have full permission and the files and folders have full permission for the user. To be clear, the shared folder is \\server\user. <loginname> are several folders, one for each user.

We use a vb script to check if a user stores too much data and if yes, we set the permissions for the user to read only and delete (with icacls).

Unfortunately, it this happens, we cannot map the drive anymore on Windows 7 (on Windows XP it works fine). The error is "Permission denied". Interestingly, the user can still open the share with the unc - path.

Is there anything I can do, so that the user still has his drive mapped? Most user are not tech savvy enough to open their share with the unc - path.

Thank You,

Peter
