Map drives to user based on GPO
Hi! Where do I best set mapping of network drives to users?
I can call a batch-command in SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT but that affect all users.
In my old environment (Windows 2003 Server) I've set difference loginscript, containing difference network mappings, to difference GPO's. The results is that Marketing got some drives and administration get some other drives. Am I doing it the same way with SBS or are there any other ways?

Hi Jeff!
Interesteing documents. I will check them as a secondary solution.
After reading your and robbers solution I'm aiming on writing a batch-file per OU in the SBS. Like "Management" "Design" "Marketing" and so on. Putting in the code that will be difference between them then storing in \\SBS\netlogon. Then creating GPO's with corresponding names and the only thing I will change in that GPO is the path to the login-script. Then linking those GPO's to each Security Group.
That must be correct?

I guess so... I would still suggest that you don't use shares like these if you can avoid it... and use SharePoint Document Libraries instead. It's really where things are headed and your users will find that there is significantly more functionality than just a plain network shared folder. There is a very quick learning period, but there's also a great training resource at http://sbsurl.com/training

Hi Jeff! thank you. I've done as wroted above and it's working perfect. We will also in time check the possibility to use sharepoint instead. I think this company have a lot's of benefits using that instead.
Thank's a lot! I'm out for today! I will fight with some more tomorrow.

Just an FYI... if you configure SharePoint from the beginning it will generally have greater acceptance. That's just from personal experience.
There are even tools to import large amounts of files to SharePoint which would make it fairly easy to do.
