I just want to simply add client shares with specific drive letters and to deploy shared printers,
</div>


<div>
I am using GPO on a user container right now. I just don't understand why it does work on user A and not on user B. They are in the same OU and have the same rights. <br />
<br />
User A gets mappings, user B not.
</div>


<div>
Are User A and B logging on to the same exact machine?
</div>


<div>
No, different machines, both connected to the domain.
</div>


<div>
On the machine that isn't working, run a gpupdate /force<br />
<br />
It may just be that it hasn't updated its group policy yet. They update on random intervals.
</div>


<div>
That works Joshua, thankx.<br />
<br />
One more thing: now I create mappings and printers with GPO using the option: CREATE<br />
<br />
So everytime it will create those. Is that how it is meant, or do I need to use UPDATE after the first CREATE.
</div>


<div>
I would just use update, no need for create
</div>


<div>
Ok, but how do I then know that new users are getting the mappings from scratch? Since there is no default create policy.
</div>


<div>
Here's a link to another post explaining the differences.<br />

</div>


<div>
I usually create groups that match share names, and create a GPO to create a matching mapping. <br />
<br />
So, you might have \\server\sales, \\server\management, \\server\repairs, \\server\east and \\server\west. <br />
<br />
Now create groups sales, management, repairs, east and west. Apply security at the file level, then create 5 GPOS mapping a letter to each share. <br />
<br />
That way, when you add a user to a group, they get the drive letter mapped and access to the files in one operation. &nbsp;Makes it really easy to set up new users, and determine who end up with access to what.

<div>
Great: I removed all scripts and used GPO.<br />
<br />
Works great. <br />
<br />
Thank you all, I used it before, somehow forgot about it.

Hi all,<br />
<br />
in the past we used KIX script, but today we use a batch file. Does anyone have a suggestion on which kind of login script would be best to use. <br />
<br />
Most stable<br />
Easy to use<br />
Wide range of options<br />
etc.<br />
<br />
Thank you,

Which kind of login script is best to use on a 2008 / 2012 server?

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

Windows Server 2012

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft.
