I am trying to create a log on script for the users on my NT network.
We are currently running an NT4 network with a PDC & BDC (the BDC is a DHCP Server as well).
We have a BAD mixture of NT4 /95/ 98/2k machines that log on to these servers.
My goal is to create a script that creates a user directory for the client the first time that client logs in, using the clients user name i.e. Erin Hughes with a 10 MB limit and map it as the E: drive.
Then from there forward the client logs in again, his E: drive is mapped to this folder.
I know by using “Net Use” it is possible to map a drive letter to a folder, but I would like to do this with some kind of wild card because I have 150 users and would need to create folders for every user as well as going around and mapping the drive.

Well first off, you can't use Quotas in NT4. If you want to limit each user to 10MB, you'll have to use a 3rd party utility.
At the PDC, you can go to User Manager for Domains. Highlight all the users you want to modify and go to File > Properties. Under Profile, select map home folder to "drive letter" and type \\server\share\%username%
The %username% is a system variable that will change to the appropriate name. You have to have to folder created already for this to work. Search MS for "remote share" this is a Resource kit tool that can take a list of users (created in Excel or other program) and create the folders with appropriate rights for you.
