Rename a file to users login name

[gcarte]

I am in the process of setting up a new server for 1 of the departments were I work there are approximately 300 users that all have some specific files on the home drives they are in u:\ustn\ then they are the users name e.g. grc.ucf and grc.upf.

The problem I have is that we are not having initials as the username we are using surname 1st initial. So it should be carterg.ucf & carterg.upf

Done anybody know of a vbscript that can be run at logon to rename the files to the user’s logon name.

Are all users files in the same folder? Or does each user have their own folder?

I hope you find this post helpful.

All users have there home drive's mapped to U:\ this is were the files are that need changing.

it would also be usful if the user does not have these files for it to create them for the user

And how are the files originally being created? What is the name of the folder containing the files? Does it match the username?
