I am trying to map a drive to a users Home directory, so that when any user logs onto a particular PC, he/she will see their directory. I can map it to the folder that contains their directory, but not to the directory itself e.g.: \\Servername\VOL1\anotherfolder\ What I would like to know, is there a variable I can use at the end to force it to open any users home directory e.g. %Username%

i believe the syntax is %USERNAME

We have our login script saying MAP ROOT (drive):=%HOME_DIRECTORY; this allows students & faculty to access their home directory wherever they can log in to the network

We have our login script saying MAP ROOT (drive):=%HOME_DIRECTORY; this allows students & faculty to access their home directory wherever they can log in to the network you might try %username or %login_name; i'm not too sure of the exact syntax

Yep, use the MAP ROOT command, with the HOME DIRECTORY variable.

This also works-- MAP ROOT (Drive):=SYS:PUBLIC\USER\%LOGIN_NAME Just substitute the path with whatever is appropriate with your orginization. Most places I have been are set up like the above example though.. Hope this helps Wayne

What is Mapping drive?
