Mapping Drives 1

[furious5]

Can anyone advise me if it is possible to automatically map drives in Windows 2000 Server based on a persons username?

I did something similar in Netware 5 a long time ago, but am not sure whether I would be able to do this in Windows 2000 Server.

Under Windows 2000 you want to create a roaming profile. This will allow the user to have the same mapped drive, desktop settings, etc. no matter what workstation they log onto on the network.

You can make a small script using the command net use (for help type net use /?)
You can make this script run by telling the profile to do it.(Porperties of the User Account). Or by creating a group POlicy Object for that specific User in Active Directory.
You will find that option in the Group POlicy, under User configuration-->Windows Settings-->Scripts (Log on/Log off)
Hope this helps A+, MCP, CCNA

I've just done that very thing.

Create a batch file like the one bellow:

Echo off@

NET USE Z: \\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME
NET USE Y: \\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME

And save it in "winnt\sysvol\sysvol\domainname\scripts

Then go to AD users and computers, and in the users properties go to the accounts tab and type the name of the batch file. click ok and get the user to logon again.

Hope this works
