Hello all.
I am trying to use the regular login script to automatically map a network drive on all of my clients. I have edited the SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat file located at \\server\winnt\sysvol\sysvol\domain.local\scripts (the NETLOGON share). I added the following line:
net use m: \\servername\directory I tried rebooting a workstation to test it, and the drive is not mapping. I checked the event log on the workstation, and I don't see any errors. In the interest of full disclosure, the directory I am trying to map to is not just a one word name. Am I changing the wrong script, or is there something else I need to do to get this to work? If it doesn't, I can do it manually, but from what I have read, this should work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Travis |

Is the directory shared?
If the share name has a space in it, you will need to put quotes around it in the command
You can test this from a command prompt, so you don't have to keep logging out.

Steve,
Thanks for the reply. It is shared, so I put quotes around the line as you instructed. Still isn't mapping the drive. The syntax I used is as follows:
I just realized that the share name is exactly the same as the actual folder name. Should I change the share name to something different? Thanks for the help.

Des,
Thanks for the reply. The funny thing is that when I try it from the command line, it works like a charm. I can ping the server, and I can open the share from the Run dialog. Is there some sort of special syntax I have to use in the login script? From what I have seen there isn't, but that maybe everything I have seen assumes the reader knows the syntax. Thanks again for the help.

put a pause after the command so you can see the displayed error mesage as the login scipt is being processed. |

Okay, here is the output on the command line from the batch file running:
C:\Documents and Settings\username.domain>\\servername\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s servername
C:\Documents and Settings\username.domain>net use m:" \\servername\Ministry Shared Folders" System error 67 has occurred. The network name cannot be found.
Thanks again for the help.

Instead use a policy to attach this login script: Concentrix Login script ' Author: Concentrix b.v. [Mariëtte Knap] ' Date: 16-08-2005
