Common folder at login

[CL]

By Default Ended up as system administrator here - Where when the user logs
in - it creates a 'network drive' (use Q for example) - so when someone
logs into network it creates this 'Q' drive on their 'My Computer Folder'
which will in essance be their 'personal folder' on the network (and hence
backed up....)

I under stand I will have to have a common directory for all these network
folders, but question is - do I 1) have to create the folder on the network
manuall) or can winders creat it first time they 'log on' and how do I
automatically map this drive to their login'

Sound confusing - well, I am - Thanks

You can use the Profile tab in the users properties to map
a specific drive. If you put in the connect to field
\\ServerName\Drive\SharePath\%Username% it will create a
share for that user and give that user the correct
permissions necessary for that folder for whatever drive
letter you select. It will then map that drive at login.
