I'm setting up a network for a classroom and I need some help with mapping network drives. I need to map a network drive and create a share for each student. Each student will have an H:\ network drive where they can save their work to the server. That way they can switch computers and still access to their work.
When an account is created, I need a script that is executed and creates their H:\ Drive folder automatically. Then I need to make another script that's used when someone log's in. Where it will create the network mapping. I don't know how to make or put a script that will do this.

Create a startup script with this command (create the startup through Group Policy). Or you might be able to make this into a .bat file and copy it to the all users startup on each machine. Here is the script
net use F: \\"your File server"\%username% /persistent:no
You must create the folder that is on your file server and give perm to the user. You could also put that in your bat file
