Network Logon & Script

[grobermatic]

Hi,

This might be a silly question (and maybe in the wrong forum) but I'm wondering how to get the same type of network setup at home that I have at work and at college.

I'm sure you know what I mean -- You arrive at work and you have to log on (to the server) to be able to access the machine and its programs, this also executes a logon script which gives access to the network drives etc.

I would also want to implement certain restrictions on resources by user. I mainly want to restrict the places and amounts of storage space a user is allowed.

OS is Windows XP Pro SP1 on all systems
Network is Wirless (802.11g) over Belkin 54g Router

Any ideas anyone

Thanks

Craig

For restrictions on what a user can do, see:

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm

For Disk Quotas:
1. Log on to your system with an administrator account, for example, owner or administrator.
2. Click Start, and then click My Computer.
3. Right-click on the system drive (usually drive C), and then click Properties.
4. Click the Quota tab.

Set your user settings.

also you asked for a script so that the users will have drives show up in there "my computer" or so i think well anyway is a sample version very simple yet can be edited just to show cetain drives for each user

NET USE l: "\\$servername$\$foldername$" /PERSISTENT:NO
NET USE p: "\\$servername$\$foldername$" /PERSISTENT:NO
NET USE u: "\\$servername$\$foldername$" /PERSISTENT:NO

all you have to do is keep copying this as many times as you want so that you have as many drives located on your network, what is requied is that you set the drive name NET USE u: you could change the U to a P to become a P drive

also once thats done just change the $servername$ to the server which has the folder which you want users to see as a drive.
then the foldername to the shared folder on the server
the persistent:no is so that when the user logs of, the drives will dissapere which stops the drives from being dissconnected.

example
NET USE T: "\\lees-3\data" /PERSISTENT:NO
