As our company is expanding rather quick there are a couple of task that i
would like to automate to reduce the time we spend on each new PC or user.

1. for each new user on a pc (we have no roaming profile) we must setup all
the printers manually. How can i add all the printers to be added
automatically for all users?

2. we also have a couple of shared drives on the server which we Map as
Network Drives, including the users home directory which is pointed as their
My Documnets as well.
How can i add these network drives automatically and how can we add the
users home drive and point their my documents to this drive.

i hope i have made my question clear! and many thanks in advance

Usually this is done via logon scripts.

I did a quick live.com search for your particular topic and results are

Hey I built my house on Microsoft technology (Figuratively). I used to
write software/firmware on a NCR mainframe, guess how much demand there was
for that.
