Windows 2003 server logon script

[Marc Robillard]

Hi all, Thanks in advance for some answers.

Here is my problem,

Many users can log on into many computers,

some of my computers are win98 some are 2000/xp,

I want an only script to be run from server side to client side. (Script
that is stored onto server)

wich means : Any user may login from anywhere (any platform) so I need a
script that is compatible from win98 to win2000,

that will "remap" (as Novell) the share depending their group appertenance +
1 map to their "home" directory


here some of my ideals :

net use z: /delete
net use z: \\server\public
net use y: /delete
net use y: \\server\home\USERNAME
net use x: /delete
net use x: \\server\group\X1 and so on.

some of the "group_directory" will be refuse by server according rights.
so A user may connect from anywhere, ans still have the same "mapping" (or
network drive) (and eventually I presume I will be able to extends that
specific fonctionality on a ActiveDirectory server (for "over internet
connection")


now I'm able to do the login script putting it into local computer policies
(win200) as login script (\\server\netlogon\logon.bat) and it works
perfecly, but I would like to NOT HAVE to edit local settings. so I can have
a standard win2000/xp or win9x installation and connect it onto the network,
and it is fully fonctionnal.

My points is : If I do run the login script locally, It could be temper
with. With I don't want to happen.

An other problems I found : win98 %username% does not exist, SO How to use
kelix ? or something else ?
