would anyone know how to connect a windows 98/ME user to his home directory
using a specific drive, I guess 98 doesn't process the user settings in AD
so I would have to use logon script, I want the drive to show up on the 98
box the same way it shows up on the XP or 2K box...just give me the content
of the script.

Thanks
 
Net use x: home (or whatever) in the login script. You can still specify the
name of the login script in AD. 98 will read that. Does that not work for
you? Is AD in mixed mode?
Also, 98/ME can only map a share as a drive (I think) and not a folder
within a share, if you get what I mean.
 
Steve,

Correct. WIN9x can only map \\servername\sharename and not
\\servername\sharename\foldername.....

This can sometimes be a problem. And, having WIN9x systems in the domain -
generally speaking - is a bad idea. I would consider upgrading. Again,
this is a very general statement. If all they do is open up a tiny DOS
based application then it is probably okay. I would still, from several
points of view, consider upgrading.

HTH,

Cary

net use x: /home

.... will work as long as the home directory path is specified in the ADUC
properties for that user....

Won't matter -that pertains only to DCs, not clients.

True, dat.
 
Good point. It has been a while since I have done anything with WIN98 in a
domain environment.
