Logon Script

[iantaylor]

Hi,

I am trying to create a Logon Script for a win2k machine and to map a drive when it logs on, with the Logon Script is:


Echo off
Echo
net use U: \\Win2k3-svr-bd1\Users\Ian Taylor


Where am i going wrong?

If you want to use the NET USE command to map drives, you need to either get rid of spaces in your UNC path or enclose the UNC path in quotation marks:

NET USE U: "\\Win2k3-svr-bd1\Users\Ian Taylor"

But if you're using a Windows NT/2000/XP workstation to log on to a domain, you shouldn't need to use a logon script to map a home directory. You can define a home directory in Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC). Double-click a user in ADUC and go to the Profile tab. Under the "Home Folder" section, you can define a drive mapping.

There is no domain setup, theres really no point when u have 2 machines. I've done the home directory but when i try that it works for a couple of times then the map drives then fall over and die.

Another thing you could do is just use the /persistent:yes switch when you map the drive, so the system will keep the drive mapping, even if you restart the computer.

Just go to a command prompt and type:
NET USE U: "\\Win2k3-svr-bd1\Users\Ian Taylor" /persistent:yes
