I need help mapping a network drive in Group Policy.
Hi,
I am having a problem making this vbs file work in group policy. Basically I am trying to get a certain network drive to map to selected users when they log in. I have placed this in group policy, but i guess that I am not doing it correctly or either the file is bad. The vbs file works fine if I run it manually. Below is the file. Please help, I am at a dead end.
Thanks:
Option Explicit
Dim objNetwork
Dim strDriveLetter, strRemotePath
strDriveLetter = "p:"
strRemotePath = "\\w2kabb1\Database"
' Purpose of script to create a network object. (objNetwork)
' Then to apply the MapNetworkDrive method. Result h: drive
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Netw
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive
WScript.Quit

The code works. Can you tell me where I am going wrong in applying it to Group Policy. Shouldn't it be as simple as it running when certain users log on.
Example of Groups:
Admin
-power users
- Users
I have the Group Policy located in the Users folder. Shouldn't that make it to where that policy would apply to the Users only. It is also in the Windows settings/logon in the properties settings.

Are your users residing in the OU you have your GPO linked to? Are you using GPMC? Under the User section/windows settings/scripts/login click on show files, is your script located in there? If not then paste it in there. You might need to run gpupdate /force on the client machine.
Also make sure authenticated users have "read and apply group policy " enabled in the security settings.
That's all you need for it to work.

so you set this under user config - windows settings - Scripts - logon.
Once complete you attach to an ou where you moved the group of users
am I right so far?

If you have the group policy located on the users container then that is your problem. The users container is a "container" not an organization unit. You cannot apply gpo's here.
Create a OU and then link it to that OU, then move your users inside the OU.
