Windows 2000 Login Script

I have read some answers regard login scripts, but I guess I still do not fully understand all of it.. I am new at this.

This is what I would like to do.

I have created a logon Scripts to map shared folder on my windows 2000 server so that when the uses login, the system will set up the shared drives.

However, when I set it up to map, let say "Accounts" on the D:\ Dive of my server, I get an error ...

Can you please show me how to do this...

I want to map = Accounts, agreements, training etc.

What are you using to write the script (WSH... vbs... batch files?)

Actually the easiest way to map a drive on a W2K server is to use the ADUC > user properties and designate the Home Folder using a mapped drive letter...

ADUC > OU > username > properties > Profile tab > Home Folder ...... i usually select the Connect To and designate a drive letter with the full UNC path to the share...

:) I take naps. Very seldom sleep a full night; except on rare occasions. Like when I have to get some sleep. Then I take a sleeping pill.

Too much stress or something; like too much mental activity/energy.

If you notice I post all hours of the day. :)

Yea.. I have noticed a trend.. :)

Kid..

Thanks for explaining this for us (me). Since I do not write these myself, and have no time to study up on them, I find it a very good reference.

Nice job...!!

Your welcome. I do recommend taking a college course, hands on not online on Windows 2000 if you are going to be supporting this environment. It will cover all the essentials. You can look into KIX logon tool for even better scripting.
