Hi everyone - <br />
<br />
Is there a way in Server 2012 R2 to create a login script (most likely a VB Script, I would think) that will map network drives based on whether the user is a member of a particular security group?<br />
<br />
For example, if I have users that are members of a domain and they should have access to specific corporate data only if they are managers or executives, can I create a share, assign the members of the &quot;Managers&quot; and &quot;Executives&quot; groups permissions to that share, and then have the login script map the necessary drive letter only if the user who's logging in is a member of one of those groups?<br />
<br />
Any info would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks much! &nbsp;:-)

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
