Hello

i have just got DNS DC and DHCP working now on my network, i just need to know when i make a user i want to make it so when they go to my computer it gives when a shared drive mapped so all users have there own network shared drive and make it auto make them a shared drive is this possible?

Thanks

1st you wanna make sure they can log on to the network.

well you can make a script to create a map drives for users by using %username%.
but 1st you need to create a folder and share it to everyone ie name it homefolder. then in ad you can either go to the users account and type a path or you can use a logon script.
ill do a tut tomorrow if i have the time.

Two ways of doing this - in the user properties sheets, there is a 'map home drive' section - this will map a specified drive letter to a specified network share.

If you want to re-direct 'My documents' yuo need to use a GPO.

However, be-aware that a lot of games these days save stuff directly to 'My Documents->My Games' (Oblivion) and if you've re-mapped My docs it can cause slowdowns and other issues (Deus-EX IW refuses to install).

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "x:" , "\\name of server\ name of shared folder"

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "x:" , "\\name of server\ name of shared folder\%username%"

open note pad copy paste it save it as MapNetworkDrive.vbs. then put the path of the script in the account of the person under login script the 2nd one you can save it under a gpo if you like. you dont need both just 1

anotehr way to do it is

start run \\name of your server\ name of shared

or
start run \\ip addy of your server\ name of shared
