95/98 client drive mapping problems

[bcrichnc]

I am having a problem with an NT 4.0 server and Win 95/98 clients. My problem is that the logon script says "the device is already in use" or something to that effect. I have a very simple mapping logon script:

net use Z: \\Srv1\%username%

The %username% has directories for all my users and each one of their directories is shared and they have Full Control access to their personal folders. Also, in my profile in the User Manager, each user has their Home Directory set to Z: \\Srv1\userA and this corresponds again to their home directory. The home directory part works perfect with my Windows XP clients, but for 95/98, the logon script does not map, nor does the home directory mapping work. I can manually map a drive on each of the 95/98 clients, but that is simply not efficient. I just need to know why the logon script says the device is already in use, even though I can do a manual mapping once the computer is completely booted up. Thanks in advance for any help.

It's actually a normal response. Try deleting the maps in your script before you map them:

Example:

NET USE /D I:
NET USE /D O:
NET USE /D P:
NET USE I: \\server1\Ishare
NET USE O: \\server2\Oshare
NET USE P: \\server1\Pshare

For home folders, you can use : NET USE Z: /home
