I am using windows server 2000. Well I want to map drive through login script using " net use " command. For that purpose I deploy AD on windows server 2000. Make a OU like "Marketing" and in it I make users in it. The steps which i took are as under. In server1 (Holding AD) I do the following configurations. 1- under Marketing OU I take its properties,"Group Policy"click on " New "and give it a name as "Marketing_share". 2-Click on Edit buttton. 3-Under User Configuration ....>Windows Settings....>Scripts. 4-Double click on "Logon" and add the name of file which I have made "Shared.bat" The script which I wrote inside is " NET USE S:\\File_Server\Share Folder Name\"username% /PERSISTENT:NO " this file is saved in C:\ as a root where windows server 2000 is installed. In Server 2 (File Server) I do the following configurations. 1-Make it a member server. 2-Login through administrator. 3-Made a folder i.e "Marketing" and share it. In ( Client computer ruiing windows xp ) I do the following configurations. 1- Made it member of server . 2- Login the computer using Active Directory user account name. 3- Double click on My computer. 4- Here I can not see the map drive ? Please guide me that where I am doing miske ? Why the drive is not mapping automatically when the user login through domain? Thanks in advance for the help. garden

prob'ly not critical, but might try taking "S:\\" and just make it "\\". i don't know. I use NET USE to map my drives, but it's in very simple environment (hub, 8-client). NET USE P: \\COMPUTER\C

nbrane without the s: you have no drive letter mapping. " NET USE S:\\File_Server\Share Folder Name\"username% /PERSISTENT:NO " don't you mean " NET USE S:\\File_Server\Share Folder Name\%username% /PERSISTENT:NO " note the two % signs. Also does the logon users name exist in this context?

tahnks for your reply. yes it was typing mistake " NET USE S:\\File_Server\Share Folder Name\%username% /PERSISTENT:NO " The user will login through domain account. My question is why not the client machine can see map drives automatically when it is login through DC? I have checked all steps but still unable to find where i am doing mistake?
