Need to automate drive map for mobile users

[Sheila]

What is the easiest way to automate a drive mapping for
mobile users? I need to re-map a drive letter "F" to the
a local server depending on where the user is located.

Easy way is to use login scripts that map the drive. In
active directory under your user properties, profile
tab, you can specify a log in script to run, create a
batch that will map the desired drive/share and you have
it.

Wouldn't that map the F: drive to the same server/share every time?
Maybe I misunderstood the question, but it seems to me that the OP wants
the F: drive to map to different server/shares depending on which office
the user the user is in at the time...

If she has the users logging into different offices, and
if you have a domain controller located in that office,
you can put an if-then statement into the logon script
using echo %logonserver%.
