New users
I have setup a new user with an e-mail address, profile path and login bat file specifying paths to 3 drives, F,G and P. When I tried to logon as that user I was denied access to the the F & G drives and could not see the P drive. I did a little invesitgation and added several common groups to the users account. Logging on again I could access the F & G drives but still could not see the P drive! In order to show the P drive to my user I simply mapped the drive letter and selected reconnect at logon. Any reason why the P drive does not appear as the script file specifies it should!!
The part of bat file looks like:
net use p: \\server\user%
net use f: \\server\folder1
net use g: \\server\database$

as long as the folders ae set up to be the usernames of your users and are already there this will work
use the command
net use p: \\server\%username%
Steve
net use p: \\server\%username%

In some cases the .bat files have net use P: \\server\name$ and in other cases it is
net use P:\\server\%username% but both show the P drive on logon! I'm a little confused as to why this is. Is it best to always use %username%?
Also, when I mentioned about being denied access to drives I was told by a network expert that I had to locate the path and allow permissions to the directories for the user to access the drives. How would you do this?

I thought the "net use P:\\server\%username%" creates a private drive (P) for the user, but I am unable to do this via the .bat file! How do I create a private drive for my users using login scripts?
