What user or permissions are used on a server before anyone logs on. We need
several specific drives mapped, but don't want to have a particular user
logged on.

Thanks

In your logon script;

net use X: /d
net use X: \\servername\sharename

I want drives mapped without anyone having to log on. Right after the server
boots, when it is sitting at the logon screen, how can I have particular
drives mapped.

This is rather confusing. Mapped drives to what and for what purpose? Shares
are available as soon as the server starts up.

If user genericuser logs on to server2 and maps x to \\server1\share1, y to
\\server1\share2, and z to \\server1\share3 is it possible to have those
drive letters connected if no user is logged on?

To what end? And why are users logging on to servers? Always best to use UNC
paths for services and or processes that need to run when no one is logged
on.

Patrick,

Let me start over on my explaination.

We run Oracle on server1, some of the processes that the programmers have
set up require server1 to have drive x: mapped to server2\share1. We have a
user set up that is only used to log onto this server to set up the current
drive mapping. What I want to know is can we have the drive mappings set up
and not have any user logged on.
Previously when I said user I meant administrative type user account not
normal user.

Hopefully this is a more lucid explanation..

Thanks
Mike

It was just a question for more info if relevance exists. <geez>


****I wasn't asking for help for our programmers

I don't know what you're doing but it looks like maybe someone should be
asking. You're just adding to the list of possibilities that can cause this
sequence of events or processes to fail.
