Under your Active Directory user's properties dialog box and in the Profile tab, there is a Home Folder, check connect , specify a drive letter and shared folder to mount on that drive letter. I am sure if you google/bing you'll find some good tutorials on this.

One more thing, not sure but I think your logon script has to have .bat extension.

Okay,

I setup a script called General.vbs and put the following code in it:

NET USE M: \\SERVERNAME\Music

NET USE S: \\SERVERNAME\Share

How do I setup my users HOME directory?

You want to set-up the Logon script for your users. There are two ways as

http://www.petri.co.il/setting-up-logon-script-through-gpo-windows-server-2008.htm [Group policy]

I've used the first one but the second one seems more flexible

in your logon script, use the NET USE command to mount shared folders something like

NET USE M: \\fileservername\music_folder

obviously you want to make sure that your users have access to this folder [use groups to manage folders security, instead of assigning to individual users]

your script can add more logic for example to check if the shared folder has been mounted and so on.

hope this helps.

Help with Active Directory

I have recently booted up my Server 2008 test machine and decided to learn about Active Directory. Upon doing so I got active directory installed and setup with no problems. I have joined one of my local machines to the domain and have my account on it also. But there are a few problems I'm having.

I want to write a script to map 3 drives for users. I need it to map a M & S drive. One for music and the other for share.
I want my users "Profile" items store on the server and mapped upon logon. Example: C:\Documents and Settings\User contents saved housed on my server and mapped upon logon.

I hope someone could help me with this.

Thanks in advance.
