Go in My Computer in the user's station and map as many network drives as you want. Its Under tools > map network drive...

Good Luck, Cyber

There's a check box there where Cyberdyne said to look. It says "Reconnect at logon".

Ok so if you are on a domain go to the user and assign them a drive (this will depend on the version of the server, small business or standard, R2 or non R2)

But either one has the capacity...

In the server management go to users, right click on the user you want and go to properties, then go to Profile then Under Home folder Check "Connect" choose the drive you want.

Good Luck. (don't forget to relogon the user for changes to take effect)

Looks like you will have to do a group policy and run client install commands on next logon.

So, would you please teach us how to do it? I need to make it work for my users. Many thanks. :)

do you use active directory? if so setup a batch file, and add it to the login script under account tab for each particular user. this will run under every long on. will go something like...

//this part deletes the drives on logon
net use h: \\servername\sh arename /d
net use i: \\servername\sh arename /d
net use j: \\servername\sh arename /d

//this part remaps the drives on logon
net use h: \\servername\sh arename
net use i: \\servername\sh arename
net use j: \\servername\sh arename

try that, if not i think you cans till setup a logon script under xp!

I've got 2 words for you.

VBS Script

[RevBooter]

batch file far easier! vbscripts can be a bit complex for inexperience scripters!

[Dedric Starks]

True... or....I could just post the text of the script :D

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("W Script.Network" )
objNetwork.MapN etworkDrive "Drive letter here:" , "Put in Network drive path here"
