<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am looking for a way to map a few drive at the startup, not logon.<br />
Is there any computer policy which can allow a drive mapping to a shared folder at the startup, and before anyone logon to the server.<br />
<br />
I am installing EMC SourceOne email archiving tools, which will be mapped to 3 NAS drives. To insure no logon is required to mapped the drive and program will be working properly after any reboot, i need to find a way mapping the drives when system starts up.<br />
if not, it will require to have a service account logged in at all time.<br />
<br />
any suggesstion would be highly appreciated

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
