Hello all,

I need to automatically create home drives for users when I create them, as well as have rights assigned automatically.

Another question: does AD automatically map the home drive if you have all of the permission settings correct and the local path correct on the profile tab?

I tried using logon scripts to map drives, but they won't even run. Nothing happens.

Any input would be appreciated.

put it on every computer in the startup file

example of code:

@ECHO OFF
IF NOT EXIST %windir%\IFMEMBER.EXE copy \\server's ip add\netlogon\etc\ifmember.exe %windir%

net use i: /del
net use U: \\your storage server\%username% /persistent:no

I thought Ifmember checks for Group membership and needs to be taken from the Resource Kit.
If used it can be run with a logon script from the servers Netlogon directory.

With your script it seems to copy it to the local drive and is never actually called.

Why delete the I drive?

The last line does map an existing home folder to the U: drive on a per logon basis.

if you delete the drive you'll be sure the drive didn't existed because of a previous logon, for example that with the last logoff was occured an error which didn't deleted that drive-letter.
