NT/W2K login script query

I am currently writing a script in the form of a simple batch file to map certain users only to a specific drive. The aim is that when they log into domain they will automatically execute the batch file from a generic scripts folder on the PDC.
The problem is that I can not seem to get the syntax right, I have tried using the ifmember command but I can't interpret that to work for a single user only groups.
Can anyone point me to a webpage that breaks down all parameters of this kind including %username%, %homepath%, %os%, etc etc.

Put the name of the batch file in the Script box of the User's profile.
That way, it'll run when the user logs in with his/her domain account, no matter which machine they login to.

Due to the number of users on the network I dont want to create numerous scripts and batch, opting for a few centralised that I can manage with little difficulty. That is why I really need to find out what syntax to use in-order to map certain drives to certain users.

Summary: I actually posted this question in the NT forum as well, but wasn't sure if the answer would be the same for Windows 2000, or if there were any "improvements" that may actually make this easier in 2k/...
Summary: Kev, that may not be correct. He says :any and all users who login to the server run that script" - well, making a GPO will not affect any 9x clients - although I admit he doesnt say he has any. I wo...
Summary: Wow! Getting sorta extra technical. I'd suggest you take time to test all that out if you really are doing something like that. Normally someone would create a program that would replace the login. Um...
