mapped drive script

[sharkey]

Hi all

I am managing a small tcpip network of a server (win xp server edition) and 8 workstations (xp pro), I am just reinstalling XP on each desktop and find that, after install I have to log on as each person and then map the drives (5) for all the applications we use with server stored data (sage etc).

The question is, can I create a script or something so that when I create a mapped drive ,it is applicable to ALL users who log on.

I have the server map a drive automaticaly to each users staff folder, but it seems to only alow one mapped srive per person.

Hope someone can help

If the server is running a domain, then you can add a logon batch file to their login.

sample.bat
net use x: /delete
net use x: \\server\share

That code can be repeated for any number of shares as long as the drive letter isn't in use. I personally add in the /delete line to guarantee that the script doesn't stall on a share that already has been mapped.

If you aren't using a domain, you can simply add the script to
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
And every user will run it automatically when they log on.

Depends on the domain, most of them will call it the "logon script"
