Title: Mapped Drives not correct
Post by: taglover on May 28, 2004, 07:16:34 PM

I'm using SME 5.6 with all of my users using Win XP. When each user logs in, they map to three network drives, one being their home drive. Everything has been working just fine for well over a year.

Now I have a number of users (and I can find no connection between them) that when they log in, their home drive is now mapped to their logon file on their home drive, not the entire home drive. If they remap to the home drive, it will not remap on the next login.

Any thoughts,

Tom Glover

hi tom

first, forget z: drive xp (and w2k) will "want it"

in your logon script add
net use /persistent:no

then when you are logged on, disconnect all the drives - don't worry about z: - and reboot

this will assist (maybe) because xp won't remember the connections

then just go about your mapping in the logon script

to get the whole home mapped (to h:) use;
net use h: \\server\username

z: will always be mapped the same as
 net use z: /home

assuming sme is a domain controller ...

Thanks David.

I went back to look at my Windows Login script page in Server Manager and found that I don't have a specific line mapping to H:. Instead I have it specified below as H:. I will try adding the net use h: line to he login script.

I assume using:
>to get the whole home mapped (to h:) use;
>net use h: \\server\username

that if I use "username" it will be the variable "username"

Thanks again,

Tom
