Anyone know how to list the used drive letters on remote workstations via a command prompt? I don't want to use server manager. I need to to it in a batch file, but not the logon script. Thanks, Chris.

Cerati, I doesn't seem to work. What utility do I run with this? and do I need to replace servername with the pdc? Will you provide more details. Thanks.

Anyone know how to determine the workstation names that users are loged onto? I have 400 users, and I need to know the workstation names they are logged onto. server manager tells me, but I need something I can run at the command prompt. Thanks, Chris.

Anyone know how to dump the users and their properties from user manager for domains to a spreadsheet or DB? I need to check the Home drive settings of 500 user accounts. And maybe check a few other properties as well. Thanks, Chris.

You can use CUSRMGR, a Win2k reskit utility. CUSRMGR can change the drive letter of existing user home dirs, and do other stuff as well. It works on nt4 and win2k. Don't know about xp. The command interpreter (command prompt) is much more powerfull than umfd. Using batch files and reskit...

I have over 400 existing users that need home dirs. It is too time consuming, and wrist wrecking to click thru user manager for domains to make the drive letter change. Using %username% only works if the homedir is not shared. There is no way, I know of, to append a dollar sign to that variable...

When I run a net user command to set users home directory, the drive letter in the profile says Z. I'm doing this: net users username /homedir:\\server1\sharename /domain How can I make the drive letter for the home directory go to H? Thanks, Chris.

Thanks, ShackDaddy. I have some scripts that create the homedirectory, and then the hidden share. It looks like the net user /homedir section of your script will work in conjunction with another script I have. Chris.

I have hidden shares for each home directory. Now I want to select multible accounts in user manager and use the variable %USERNAME% in the Home directory path to globaly apply a home directory to all user accounts at once. But I need to append a dollar sign ($) to the end of the %USERNAME%...

I need to share over 400 user directories and don't want to go thru the tedius process of right clicking each directory, selecting share, share as, etc. Anyone got a script, batch file, or something that will do this? I found one using ADSI and WSH, but couldn't get it to work. Any tips...

I don't know about %username% in a command prompt. In usermanager profiles for the usersm, the %username% works. In a login script, I'm thinking you would have to pass a variable that contains the username. You might try searching microsoft site, http://support.microsoft.com and search for...

You should put the share name after the servername. eg, net use h: \\servername\sharename. Hope this helps. Chris

I'm upgrading nt4 sp1 to nt4 sp6a. I get a msg that ntbackup.exe, mspaint.exe, and most all the other exe files can't be copied from the source. I deleted temp folder, and tried again, but no luck. I have the same problem on another server. I couldn't find anything on MS web site about this. Do...
