Auto Mapping of multiple shared folders via Active Directory
Hello Experts,
I need an urgent support, my Boss told me to Map 4 shared folders to 300 users in our company so that when they login to their computers these 4 shared folders should be automatically mapped into their computers. I don't have any idea how to do this auto mapping of multiple shared folders via Active Directory. I am using windows 2008 as Domain controller and All users are using windows 7 workstations.
The 4 Shared folders which need to be automatically Mapped are:-
1) \\192.168.10.153\Marketing
2) \\192.168.10.153\Sales$
3) \\192.168.10.153\Home$
4) \\192.168.10.153\Registrat
Experts please help me with an easiest solution because i don't know much about scripting and coding.
Thank you for the excellent support we are getting from all the "Experts" around the world from Expert-Exchange community.
Regards,
SMV

Hello Anthony Carter,
Thank you for the support, I have about 2000 user in a OU, in which only specific 300 users should be linked with this script is that possible. i don't want this script to run for all the users in that OU because each users are belong to different departments.

net use x: \\server_name\shared_direc
so:
@echo off
net use * /delete /yes
net use m: \\192.168.10.153\Marketing
net use n: \\192.168.10.153\Sales$
net use o: \\192.168.10.153\Home$
net use p: \\192.168.10.153\Registrat
Save the script as logon.bat and save it to the domain controller's NETLOGON share.
The deploy with active directory:
1) Open Active Directory Users and Computers
2) Right click domain name at top left and click Properties > Group Policy > Edit > User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts (Logon/Logoff) > Logon > Add...
3) Enter path to logon.bat (e.g., \\domain.local\sysvol\doma
4) Login from workstation. Drives m, n, o and p should appear in My Computer.
