Map Network Drive Automatically for users.
Hi,
On windows server 2003, there is a shared folder which certain users need access to. I could go around each machine individually and map the network drive, but was wondering is it possible to do this simply from the server so that when each of the users log on next they are automaticaly mapped to the shared folder?

Hi,
yes domain controller,
profiles of users already have a home folder,
Only other option be a script which i haven't a clue about.
So it looks like just mapping each one individually

The domain controller will have a share called netlogon.
Make a batch file with the following in it:
@echo off
cscript %logonserver%\netlogon\dri
Save it as logon.bat and place it in the netlogon folder
Make a vbs script with the following it:
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Netw
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive
'Change the F: to match the drive you wish and the \\server\share to match your share.
Save it as drive.vbs and place it in the netlogon folder.
Next go to profile of user in the same area as you defined the home folder and assign a logon script of: logon.bat
This should get you going.
Let me know how it works.
