I need to create stable mapped network drives on a Windows 2000 network with one 98 client.

I have a W2k server and 10 W2kPro clients.  I also have 1 W98 client.  I want to create the mapped drives at the server and have them download to the clients at logon.  Can group policy handle this function?  If so, how?  Also is there a way to do this with the 98 machine?  I need total control over this process.  Thanks for your help.

Yes you can create a login script to do this.

This link is pretty good...

You would need to upgrade the server to a domain controller to do this? Is this acceptable? Otherwise you will need to map these drives using a login script that runs in the startup group of each machine.

My server is a DC already but I have no idea how to crete a simple logon script that will run in a group policy to map network drives.  Do I create in notepad?  Where do I place the script once I create it?  I guess I need a step by step.  Thanks.

Thanks mikecr, this was helpful.  I was able to run this script in GP w/o any problem, which I think is a better solution.
