Scripting for logon Map Drive etc...

[Dan]

Good Afternoon form New England.

I have been doing some research on scripting for logon
purposes for such drive deletion, mapping and so on. There
seems to be a few different types that can be used.
(vb java bat wsh). I am currently working with a window
2000 Server with Active Directory. I have seen "Net use"
(.bat)configuration, this I assume is probaly a NT4 item.
But I was wondering if this is out dated and that I should
be looking for a more upgraded approach. I guess my
question is what is the going script for today,s IT
Administrator.

Thanks
Dan

Dan-

Net use still works fine - it's by far the easiest for simple drive mapping
stuff.

WSH (Windows Scripting Host) is becoming the preferred way to do scripting
stuff, though. You can map drives with it as well, but it does take some
more effort until you learn VBScript and the WSH syntax.
