Example 1
Example 1 will disconnect all drives after the user logs in.
- Filter: No Filter – Apply this to all
- Action: Disconnect All

Example 2
Example 2 leverages the macro @USERID. When ProfileUnity executes, the @USERID macro is expanded into the username. Therefore, the H: drive will be mapped to a per-user share located on server ATLFS02. The drive will be mapped persistent and will be assigned the label Home Directory after the user logs in.
