I have one Domain Controller setup on my "Windows Server 2003 Enterprise edition" in my LAN..I want to provide ANDI drive sort of thing to personalize the user experience and increase the managability for each user...can any one help me with this??
One of our admins wrote the following batch file (userdrive.bat):
net use %1: \\server\Users\%2
We then added this to a new Group Policy object under User Configuration\Windows Settings\Scripts (Logon/Logoff)\Logon, with the parameters
U %USERNAME%. This gives everyone a drive mapping U: to \\server\Users\username where username is the user's name. We have to remember to create the directory for the user, but it's working pretty well so far. If you want to move the user's home (My Documents) directory, look at the Folder Redirection policy in Group Policy. [EDIT] I forgot to mention that the userdrive.bat file is stored in the SYSVOL scripts folder (\\domain.name.co.uk\SYSVOL\domain.name.co.uk\scripts). You could store it here, or in the GPO's own folder. The latter is probably better. Use the Show Files button to open a folder window onto the GPO's scripts directory. [/EDIT] Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder -

It is not so difficult. start->administrative tools-> active dierctory users and computers double click on the user wich you want to configure. Then select profile tab.there you will see 2 text fields 1.profile 2.home folder in home folder field type \\server\shared folder\%username% thats all.
