I have tried this command in my \system32\repl\export\scripts\is.bat file, but it doesn't seem to work in the 9x world, when it does work in NT/XP logins.

net use h: \\ntfp1\users\is\%username%

Whn I log into an NT machine it successfully mapsH:\ to \\ntfp1\users\is\bergerp and all is well. If I try to login on a 9x machine it gives me this error message:

"Error 50: you attempted an operation that cannot be performed from your computer or that is not supported on the specified server.Make sure you are using the correct server for the command or task that you want to perform. If the problem persists call your Network Administrator."

Any ideas/help would be great. Thanks. :)

Windows 9x does not have the ability to be "rooted" to a subdirectory of a share. Your only course of action to get the user directly to there directory is to share each folder individually.

On Win9x machines, the command to use is:

net use H: /home

This will map the H: drive to the ROOT of the shared folder called \\htfp1\users\is, provided that this is defined as the home directory in User Manager. Win95 does not, however, havethe ability to map directly to a folder by using a variable such as %username% - this is not a variable that Win95 can use. Therefore, there is no way to map a drive directly to a user's folder except by creating a shared resource directly to that folder and then doing a net use command individually for each user - not a practical thing given that you'd have to have a very complicated login script or a separate one for each user. Hope this helps!
