Script for mapped network drives IT Pro Noobie 4/22/2007 8:58:00 PM Good afternoon everyone. I have a very quick question. I need to do the following for a middle sized business using Server 03 SP2 R2. I will be building the AD from scratch on the server and all users will be using WinXP SP2 with all updates. This server will be the proxy (FreeProxy), email (exchange), web (IIS), storage, and database (SQL 05)server. When the user logs in for the first time, I need for there to be a folder created on the server with their user name with 250 meg storage and mapped to drive W. Also, I need for outlook 2003 to automatically be set up on the client machine on first login. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Thank you again.

Re: Script for mapped network drives Jack Doyle <Jack.Doyle[ at ]scriptlogic.com> 4/23/2007 1:18:36 PM When you create the user, you can set the mapped home directory on the "Profile" tab. From there, set W and then the path you want to map to. Use it in the format: \\server\share\%username% where %username% is literally %username%. When you apply, it will replace it with the correct userid. It will also create the folder. You will need to use quotes to insure your 250 MB compliance. As far as setting up the Outlook profile before the user uses Outlook, this task can be accomplished with Desktop Authority from ScriptLogic (http://www.scriptlogic.com/da) Also see http://www.scriptlogic.com/Outlook_Profiles.asp for details on that exact task.
