Topic: Problem with NET TIME and mapping

[Martijn v/d Plaat]

Hi all,

first:
i use SME 5.5 and winxppro

When i want to map "net use z: \server\directory" i get an error "z is allready in use" ok i understand because z: is allready mapped with "\server\username", but in my netlogon.bat i have put the following syntax : "z: \server\directory" So why is it possible that he maps z:\server\username.

second:

when i login as admin into mydomain the command: "net use \server /set /y" works perfect, but when i login as an other user i get an error "access denied" or something. That is logical because when i go to configpanel->date,time the computer says also "access denied". My question: where to edit the userrights.

Many many thanks. (maybe sorry for my english )

First question:
Look at the NT User profile, you may have configured a home directory.

Second question:
You must grant the user the ability to change the system time, this is listed as an advanced user right.  You must modify the local security policy.

Hope this helped,
Nathan

NT User profile?
The problem is that there is automaticly created a mapping z: with every account i login on the SME, but the mapping not maked in the netlogon.bat Where can i manage this problem??

And the second question is answerd. thanks...

You could add "net use z: /delete" to the netlogon.bat as a work around?

Hope this helped,

Yes oke, but then i still don't know why the SME is mapping the z drive.

Somebody else maybe knows why the SME is doing that?

Hello,

I had the same problem with SME 5.1.2 & NT4SP6 Clients, I never managed to find a reason why, so the users just lived with their home drive being Z:

kind regards,
Rob.

It is the samba "logon drive = " default with a NT client

did you try

net use h: /home

to map your homedirectory ??
