map drive at startup without logging in

[Chris@Eaton]

Does anyone know if it is possible to set up W2K Server so
that it automatically maps a drive to a share on another
server when it boots up, without needing to log a user in
to the console?

You could do it via the Task Scheduler but it is not recommended.
Any such drive is invisible and may not be accessible by all users.
Furthermore, because it is invisible, it will cause great irritation:
When typing "net use", it cannot be seen, yet the drive letter
cannot be used for subseqent commands in the user's environement.

I recommend you use UNC coding instead (\\SomeServer\SomeShare).
