Hi,

I am trying to map network drives for a few users via Group Policy. I have created a new OU within and created 4 test users. I want to map some drives to these users rather than doing them manually as a lot more users will join this OU. I have created a batch file as follows:

net use m \\<servername>\Moscow
net use w \\<servername>\AE1

I have copied it to the appropriate folder e.g. C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\<domain name>\Policies\{86F42B79-1847-4B86-8A32-94550702F40F}\User\Scripts\Logon

I didn't specify any parameters, so I am unsure if that is a problem. I created the GP anyway. When I logged in as a new user, nothing happened no drives were mapped. Does anyone know what the problem is?

I have run the file whilst logged in as this user and the drives are then mapped. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Did you place the GPO on the machine or user account?
Did you make sure it was linked?
Have you checked the log files on the workstations for failed GPO's?
are the workstations joined to the right domain, and do the have the right dns?

There is a slight (up to like 1 hour) delay when making a gpo, before all clients receive the gpo and then implement it. that can sometimes be alleviated using gpupdate /force ..

You missed off the colons. The commands would be:
net use m: \\<servername>\Moscow
net use w: \\<servername>\AE1

Hope it works!
