Scripting question.

[J741]

I recal reading a thread here a while back that indicated a way to script a user's login for a personal directory.

I think the script line was...
net use <drive letter> \\server\%username%

but that is not correct. the %username% is not a valid variable. I can not remember the correct syntax. Perhaps the variable identifier was %logonname% or something simliar. I'm not sure.

Can anyone help me get the correct variable name?

if you want to set up a home directory, there's provision in user manager for domains. Under the user you can set the user directory using the drive letter and the \\servername\usershare\%username%

user manager will create the user directory for you and assigne the basic permissions etc.
