Standard Network Drive Maps

Hello again Everyone,

One quick question: Can I use policies or scripts or something of the
sort to force mapping of certain network shares (plural) to certain
drive letters (plural) on each workstation? If so, how?

Thank you,
Fred

Basic batch file login script commands....

net use * /del /yes

net use x: \\server\share /persistent:no
net use y: \\server\anothershare /persistent:no

(etc)

You could add those to \\servername\netlogon\sbs_login_script.bat and
everyone should get them.

I tend to use the SBS_logon_script.bat file located here:

\\ServerName\sysvol\sbsdomain.company.local\scripts\SBS_LOGON_SCRIPT.bat

If you have a shared folder called d:\stuff and want it to be mapped as
drive s: to all users when they logon, append the following to the script:

net use s: \\ServerName\stuff

This will map the share for all users, so watch out on permissions.

There might be other and better ways to do this, but this does work well.
