Basic Login Script

[krenkey]

Good Day Folks, i am in a little bit of a pinch. I have been reading countless articles on how to make a login script to simply map network drives, and assign a single printer. We currently run domain controlled windows 2003 with xp desktops. As well currently i use a bat file to control the login script and connect to the network drives. My limited knowledge of scripting is hindering my process. any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for replying markdmac i have looked carefully at youre faq. I do have a question, which part or parts would i have to edit to make it suitable for my environment. IE:

'Map drives needed by all
'Note the first command uses the user name as a variable to map to a user share.
WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "H:", "\\server\users\" & UserString,True
WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "U:", "\\server\users",True
WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "X:", "\\server\executables",True

this is an example snippet, so i would change the server to the server name and the drive letter to the letter we use correct.

Correct. You should not that in the example the H drive is also building the path to include the user name in case you need to map a drive like that. The other two examples show more generic mappings.

I hope you find this post helpful.

ok thankyou, all i require is the basic drive mappingand because my scripting skills are poor i will have to learn more.

Thank You so much, after fiddling around with it for a while, and re-doing my group memberships i was able to get it to work. You are doing a great job Mark

I'm trying to use the script from the FAQ also. We have a small network of about 12 machines so I elected to add the per user drives rather than groups. Other than that I used the same code as the standard setup and I still get a syntax error.
Can I post the code or email it to someone for verification?

 

[markdmac]

Sure, best to start your own thread jtutnc. Put my name in the subject and I'll give you a hand.

I hope you find this post helpful.
