Applying Mapped Drive

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

I have a server running on Win2k AS and I have a legacy application running
on it. The application was built using Clipper and for client users on our
LAN to be able to access it, the path to the database files need to be
mapped locally in each of the client pc's. My question then is how would I
set/configure it that the mapping of drive would be done automatically?

Are you on a domain? If so, use a login script.

I don't know - but here's what I use:
-----------------------
net use * /del

net use h: /home /persistent:no <note that this means you have to have a
homedir path defined in each user's ADUC properties>
net use x: \\server\share /persistent:no
net use y: \\server\anothershare /persistent:no
net use z: \\totallydiferentserver\share /persistent:no

etc.

I'm not good with VB Script and all that---I use simple batch files--- "copy
thisfile.exe c:\here\whatever"

Just a suggestion if you're good with that sorta thing

The way I do it is by modifying the user properties under the Profile tab,
select "Logon script" and type the name of the batch file. I put the batch
file in \\dc\netlogon

On the Logon Script's "Logon Properties" (in Group Policy Editor), click the
"Show Files" button.

Copy the batch file into the folder that opens. Each Group Policy has its
own User\Scripts\Logon folder for the files neede by the Logon Script.

Add the batch file's name so it shows under the Name column in the "Logon
Properties" page without any path.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
