Map to home directory

How can I setup a logon script to map a users home directory? They are all different. Would something like net use h:\servername\%username work?

Try h:\servername\%username% after you have created the directories. Only User Manager will create the folders automatically (in a pre-shared folder, like Users).

That command won't work in a script. The syntax is \\servername\sharename.
In the properties of the user account, define the path to their home folder - \\servername\sharename. Then in the logon script use the net use /home command to map the drive.
