INI File

[Rick]

I am trying to using an INI file to map drives and printers with a
GPO. where does that INI file need to be placed to work?

That depends what you are using to map the drives and printers, is it a
logon script? If so, it would need to go on a share to which all clients
have access, such as the Netlogon share.

yes, the ini is used to map shares and printers for all users, this is
a new environment for me. the ini file cks for group assignment then
calls a vbs script based on group. this is for share and printer
mappings.is it better to do this in a ini file then in a vbs script?

 

[Simon Geary]

Any way that works properly is a good way I suppose, although it is way more
common to use vb for login scripts than using an ini file.

Hi,

I am trying to using an INI file to map drives and printers with a
GPO.

I am not sure what you mean by INI file? INI files don’t map drives
and printers. They are used for device information.

What you need is either BAT files or VBScript files. They should
ALWAYS be placed in the NETLOGON share if you want them to execute on
startup or logon.
