Drive Mapping in Server 2008I haven't played with Server since 2000. I'm trying to setup a
machine for my neighbor and I'd like to map drives to specific shared folders. In the past I would do this in a .BAT file. If this is still the prefered practice where does the file go now. If not...what is the prefered practice, and can you point me to any documentation. Since time is a factor, and it is a very small outfit, if a batch file still works, I'd prefer to do that. Thanks for your help.

Still no luck. This is a 2008 machine that Active Directory has been setup on. I'm using the following Logon Script path in user profile: %SystemRoot%\sysvol\sysvol\TriR.Com\scripts\TriR.Bat My batch file is: @Echo Off REM TriR.Bat Version 1.0 REM Exit if user has logged on to the server IF %ComputerName%==TriR2k801. Goto End REM Delete pre-existing drive mappings NET USE F: /DELETE >null NET USE H: /DELETE >null NET USE P: /DELETE >null NET USE S: /DELETE >null NET USE U: /DELETE >null REM MAP DRIVES NET USE F: \\TriR2k801\Finance$ >null NET USE H: \\TriR2k801\HR$ >null NET USE P: \\TriR2k801\Projects$ >null NET USE S: \\TriR2k801\Safety$ >null NET USE U: \\TriR2k801\Users$\%UserName% REM SYNCHRONIZE TIME WITH SERVER NET TIME \\TRIR2K801 /SET /YES When I log in the only drive mapped is U: But that's probably because I have that declared under Home Folder.

On the Profile tab of the

If the log file is not created, you know the logon script did not run at all. Otherwise, you might find a statement raises an error.

I would use:
/persistent:no in the Net Use statements. Also the user may lack permissions for some of the shares. I would log in as the user, then run the statements one at a time at the command prompt to determine which statement raises which error.
