I'm setting up a Windows 2000 network in a school classroom. The server is running Windows 2000 Server and the (6) stations are Windows 98 Release 2. In spite of the fact that I have no real idea how to do this I seem to have everything working ok except that when a new user logs on, the previous user's home directory is displayed in My Computer. I have to Map Network Drive to make the new user's folder visible every time a new student logs on. I think I need some sort of logon script or something but I can't seem to figure it out from the help files. Help appreciated.

I know how you feel, I had similar problems some time ago. Yes, you do need to create a logon script, but for each seperate user. Try this: 1. Go to the "System" directory in the "WINNT" directory on the server. In "System", create the folder "repl". Inside that, create the folder "import". Inside that, create the folder "scripts". This folder "scripts" is where Windows 2000 looks for logon scripts. This folder is sometimes not created with the installation, which I cannot understand. 2. In the "scripts" folder, make an MS-DOS batch file for each user with the filename "user_name.bat" where user_name is the username of the user. Place the "net use" command into the batch file for each user that maps a network drive to their home directory (I assume you know how to use the "net use" command?) 3. In the user manager (this could be in Computer Management or Active Directory, depending on whether or not the server is a domain controller or stand-alone server), open a user's properties. Find the "logon script" field, and enter the name of the batch file for that user. I suggest that you use the same drive letter in the net use command for every user so that if the network connection exists, it will be reconnected with a different users home directory when they log on. Does this make sense? If not, e-mail me at "dm_1010@kmail.com.au" and I'll try and help. (The "net use" command and the concept of domain controllers can be difficult to understand at first, and I can understand that.)
