need to have location specific drive mapping, with users that roam from location to location. I can only do Startup/Shutdown scripts for Machines, and Login/Logout scripts for Users. I tried to set Startup Script, but with no user logged in, the system has no rights to map drives, and if I use a Login Script for the user, they attach to the wrong server when at a different location. How do I do machine specific mappings without manually hitting all 400 machines in 12 locations in 3 states? For example, when a user logs into a system in Houston, they are still mapping to shared drive in Tulsa. I need them to map to an identical drive in Houston so that they are not accessing the required information over the slow WAN link. I am having trouble doing this because when I create a machine startup script to do this It will not map due to lack of permissions to the drive. So when a user logs into a machine in Houston I need R:\ mapped to \\houston\apps, and when they log into a machine in Tulsa I need R:\ mapped to \\tulsa\apps. Sorry for the detail, but I wanted to make sure my problem was clear..... thanks, MWF

Hi, You need to use the "net use" command. net use R: \\SERVER_NAME\SHARE_NAME. (The letter "R", being the letter of the mapped network drive) Hope this helps Mark

Mark, I have a similiar problem. W2k workstations on novell network but users need to access an NT share. I don't want to have to walk to each computer to manually map a drive to the share. I know net use will do it but I don't know how to automate this so that the username doesn't need to be typed in?

Hi Mark u need to save login script in WINNT\SYSVOL\SYSVOL\DOMAIN\SCRIPTs folder and also specifiy in Ur GPO ok
