Logon script / share visability

by djehan . Updated 25 years, 7 months ago

I am trying to sort out one mess of a network, including users home directories. We have a logon script that maps drives, but the users home dir’s are simply folders underneath a share. I have been following posts on this topic, but so far to no avail.

If I use “net use h: \\server-name\share\%USERNAME%”, I get an Error 50 from NT. If I use “net use h: \\server-name\share\users” it works fine, but the client can see ALL directories, even those assigned $.

So my questions are;
1) How is USERNAME defined, and where?
2) Am I better off creating a new share and starting from scratch ?
3) Why does the $ not hide the dirs from other users?

I need to be able to map a drive directly to the users home dir on the server, hence my frustration.

I’m not an NT guru, so any help gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

Darren
