    Creating NTUSER.DAT file programatically

    As part of the sys-admin tasks I undertake, it includes the profiling of
    user accounts.

    Most of this has been done through scripting, but there is still the
    hands on part of mapping drives etc that the GPO miss.

    Is it possible as part of a vb.net application to create a stub
    NTUSER.DAT file with all the necessary trimmings for the users?

    Has anyone tried doing such a task?

      Mapping drives should really be done via a logon script. You can use
      group membership to automate it.

          That works for standard mappings, but the drive mappings are only part
          of what I am attempting to accomplish as there are other registry
          settings that need to be done.

              Again, registry settings can be done via the logon script as well. DOS
              scripting is really powerful which is something that most people overlook!
