Login Scripts

[Guest]

Hi,
I am not sure if I should post this here or at the Window's XP site but - I am setting up a Win2k A/S machine for a client. I intend to share some 10 directories with 25 XP Professional users. I would like to setup a login script to assign the sharing so I will not have to go to each machine and map the drives. I was wondering if there is an example of a script I could clone or a knowledge base to look at. I would also like to automatically roll this script down to each user.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Rich

The script itself can be fairly simple but you never mentioned if you are
setting up a domain or workgroup. If a domain, use a Group Policy Object to
specify a login script. The idea is to link the Group Policy with a domain
container (like an Organizational Unit) and any user placed in the container
inherits the GPO and therefore the script. Should you decide to give all
users the same script then modify the domain GPO.

script:
_____________________________
@echo off
if exists w: net use w: /delete
net use w:\\server\sharedir
