Hi Is there anybody out there that knows how to create a net use script that will allow someone to log directly on to a server running XP Pro ( the script needs to contain both the username and pasword group, so that the user does not need to input anything. All the machines are running XP Pro, and though I have tried mapping the drives normally and telling them to reconnect on logon, they sometimes do and sometimes they dont. Some of the microsoft techs Ive spoken to dont seem to have too much idea what Im talking about.
