Drive Mapping question

The best way is to use a login script.
Then you do not have to go computer by computer to map the drives. You can even use the net use command to map a network printer if you have one.

The net use command does work in all windows versions.

The only thing you need to remember is to use a BAT file extension so the batch file login script will work on the windows 9x stations.

The CMD extenstion only works on Win NT / Win 2000 / Win XP

Net Use can be used in a command line in Win98 as well as a command line within a logon script from within a batch file. We utilize separate logon script batch files for all our Win95/98 users because the drive mapping to their home directories is written slightly different that usual. Here is an example of the scripts contained within a logon batch file we use for general Win95 users:

File Name:
GeneralWin95.bat

Script:

NET TIME \\%Server_Name% /SET /YES
NET USE F: \\%Server_Name%\%Share_Name%
NET USE G: /Home

The NET TIME script sets the PC to synchronize time with the PDC server on our network, then the NET USE to F: maps to a public share for all users, NET USE G: maps to the users home directory on the PDC server. Win95/98 requires the use of the single forward slash as opposed to the double back slash.

You'll want to use a Login script...additionally, I'd recommend Kix32. It's powerful and will handle almost anything you need.
