VBScript for Remote Offices

[iNfAmOuSeNiGmA]

HI i need some help here i fairly new to vbscripting. If done some basic scripts mapping drives, connectiong printers, running programs on login, but i want try something. I have 18 remote offices, i need to know if there's a way that on login i can change the my documents folder to a certain folder on my file-server. It's kinda like changing the target for my doc's.

If your client PC's are Windows 98 you can use the script part below :-

set personal=wscript.createobject("wscript.shell&quot

personal.regwrite"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User shell Folders\personal","\\SERVER_NAME\SHARE"

personal.regwrite"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Personal","SERVER_NAME\SHARE"

Do you have a windows 2000 domain structure???

You can use folder redirection within the group policy object achive exactly what you want.

you can access the site's group policy object via "Active directory sites and services" -> "SiteName" -> "properties" -> "group policy tab" -> "edit"

then

"User Configuration" -> "Windows Settings" -> "Folder Redirection" -> "My Documents" -> "properties"

You will figure it out its fairly straight forward Just Add a security group that the policy applies to and input the Path I Like to use "\\ServerName\ShareName\%UserName%" then it will create a folder using the username of each user.

Hope this helps.
