 It works.
-Now, any user I put in the HR folder will get this mapped drive. If you don’t want to use an OU you can also target a group of users by using a Security group.

+====Example 2: Using Group Policy to Map a Drive for Individual Users====
+This example will map a drive for individual users. This will give the users their own personal folder to save files.
+You can create a new GPO or add to your existing one, I have all my drive mappings in one GPO.
+This example requires a folder to be setup on a network share that matches the user’s logon name. You will want to modify the NTFS permissions so the individual user is the only one that has permissions to it.
+I’ll be using Mark Foster as an example, the logon name is mfoster so I’ll need a folder setup on a network share called mfoster.
+//I’m not going to repeat every step, I’m basically starting at Step 3 from the first example.//
+===Step 1: Create a New Drive Mapped drive===
+Here are the drive map settings for mapping a drive for an individual user
+The %UserName% is a variable that will match the user’s logon name.

+Just to be clear you must have folders setup on a network share that matches the location and users logon name.
+My file server is file1, the share is users and in the user’s folder is a folder for each user. Screenshot below of users folder on file1 server.
+{{ :microsoft:server:2016:GPO-Map-Personal-2.jpg?400 }}
+That is it.
+Just have the user log off and back on and it should map the M drive
+{{ :microsoft:server:2016:GPO-Map-Personal-3.jpg?600 }}
+Perfect! Now the user is mapping a department drive and a personal drive.
