Windows 98 will not go down two levels to map network drive at login. Need to have users logon to individual drive under home directory.

Windows 98 can only map to the share. So, to map Win98 clients to the shared USERHOME dir as in:

USERHOME - shared as HOME
JOE
BOB
SUE
ANN

...you must create individual shares for each of the folders you want to map to, i.e.,

USERHOME - shared as HOME
JOE - share as HOMEJOE
BOB - share as HOMEBOB
SUE - share as HOMESUE
ANN - share as HOMEANN

Sorry... it's a limitation of Win98. I didn't feel it was worth creating that many shares, so my WinNT clients have the luxury of going to H: and having it be their "home" directory. However, when my Win98 clients open H:, they have to find a directory with their own name.

This really hasn't posed a problem for us, as the home directories are onan NTFS partition, and if you let WinNT / Win2k create the users' home dirs with %username% then no one else can get in anyway.
