We have an interesting issue with one of our server shares, or possibly, our Win 7 desktops.
When our users try to save files in a sub folder, either via copy/paste or through an application, to a mapped drive on our DC they receive an error saying "Path not found". They can however browse this folder and open files from it. This is where the "Path Not Found" error doesn't seem to stack up in my opinion.
Users can however save files fine in the root folder of the mapped drive, it appears only to affect sub folders.
It seems to be random which users and machines this affects. The users can log on to a different machine and be able to save in sub folders fine, on the same mapped drive. Event viewer hasn't been much help either.
Currently, the only solution we have found is to image the machines affected which solves the issue.
Our servers are Server 2008 R2 with Win 7 Pro desktops.
Any help/pointers/suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Can your users you the UNC path to the sub-folder that they are having issues with? Are they then able to read and write data to these sub-folders? If so this indicates a permissions issue with a mapped drive itself.
Since you say they are able to read and write data to the root of the mapped drive I would ensure that your subfolders are Inheriting permissions from the root directory.

Yes, I believe they can use the UNC paths to the folders, though I will double check this. I have just checked the folder permissions and they are definitely inheriting correctly, as they always seem to have.
