Also, using a login script, is there a way to have Windows use the next available letters depending on what the person has on their computer? For instance, if someone in the Accounting department has access to the HR folder, Sales & Marketing folder, and Inventory folder, can windows, or a login script, make each one of those the next availalbe letters?
You can only map network shares to drive letters A-Z. You cannot go beyond Z. So, the maximum number is 26 letters minus the number of local drives you have.
However, you don't need to use drive letters. You can use UNC (Uniform Naming Convention) names to access network shares. Example: \\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME
