Logon scripts to map drives

Norm,

I started using .vbs scripts for my login, etc. scripts in my policies
and have had better luck with .vbs scripts than .bat scripts. Not sure
what you are using but these seem to be a little more useful/powerful
that .bat files. Let me know if I can help. There is also a lot of help
for these on Google. Gald you got it fixed.



Bob

Problem solved: somewhere along the line, I shortcut the net use command
by
mistake or otherwise from "net use: \\server\share /persistent:no" to:
"net
use: \\server\drive no". It didn't affect mapping to the W2000 Server,
but
failed to map to the added "Vantage Server" without giving any errors.
Running the script as a batch file on my works station failed to map any
drive to either server, so that's when I found and corrected the
"/persistent:no" part. Go figure - isn't Windows wonderful?

thanks to everyone for all the suggestions.

When you log in, you should see the batch file run.

What does it say when it tries to map your drive?

to answer 2 questions: the new server is listed in the "active
directory"
computers. and I can browse to the shared drives on the new server from
any

I've had already tried deleting all the mappings before I sent the email
to
the group, and the work station maps correctly to the "active directory"
server, but not to the "Vantage server".

Typing the "net use...." line from the batch file in a command window
maps
the drive successfully to the "vantage server.

If you use:

@echo off
net use /persistent:no
net use v: \\entdb2\epicor

It will unmap/delete the mapping everytime the user logs off. You may
need the /delete to get rid of your current mappings, but I would opt
for /persistent:no for everyday use to avoid this in the future.

Subject: [Vantage][OT] logon scripts to map drives

With the growth of the size of our Db, I'm adding a new server for
Vantage
(OS is 2003 Server). The domain controller remains the same (OS is 2000
Server, eventually upgrading to 2003 S). I've created logon scripts that
map network drives with the "net use" command in batch files for each
user
(assigned by user profile in Active Directory on the domain server).

However, the scripts run and map the drives to the domain server, but do
not
map the drives to the new server. I can map drives to the new server
through Windows explorer. I can ping the new server by name/IP address.

Any ideas why the script doesn't map to the shared drives on the new

Send me the logon script off line and I will take a look at it. Maybe
something will stand out.

I have found if the mapped drive was created on workstation, net use
mapping in login script will not change an existing mapped drive.

Very - true that is why we always map drive via a logon script. That
way no matter what WS the user logs into they have their drives.

Be sure to use PERSISTENT /NO in your script to avoid this. This will only map the drive for the session. This is equivalent of NOT checking the Reconnect At Login checkbox when manually mapping a drive at the workstation. Then if you change the path of a mapped drive in your script it will map properly on the next login.

If you mapped from the workstation and checked the Reconnect at login checkbox you will have to disconnect the mapping before the script will work.

Try sending a net delete for that drive letter before you do a net use. It will delete anything mapped for that drive before it tries to map it.

If you use:

@echo off
net use /persistent:no
net use v: \\entdb2\epicor

It will unmap/delete the mapping everytime the user logs off. You may
need the /delete to get rid of your current mappings, but I would opt
for /persistent:no for everyday use to avoid this in the future.

Try deleting all the mapped drives before you execute the NET USE for
the mapped shares. There is a TON of information available as reference

Subject: [Vantage][OT] logon scripts to map drives

With the growth of the size of our Db, I'm adding a new server for
Vantage
(OS is 2003 Server). The domain controller remains the same (OS is 2000
Server, eventually upgrading to 2003 S). I've created logon scripts that
map network drives with the "net use" command in batch files for each
user
(assigned by user profile in Active Directory on the domain server).

However, the scripts run and map the drives to the domain server, but do
not
map the drives to the new server. I can map drives to the new server
through Windows explorer. I can ping the new server by name/IP address.

Any ideas why the script doesn't map to the shared drives on the new
server?

Check your permissions for the shares on the vantage server. Can you browse to them from any computer like so: \\myvantageserver\sharename

If that does not work then perhaps something larger is at work, for example, just to list a few
* maybe your vantage server does not have a DNS entry,
* the server might not be configured to do file sharing,
* if you have more than one AD server, then make sure all replication partners have the same logon script


This might sound a bit simplistic but I had a more or less the exact same problem a few years ago when I was upgrading an entire domain from NT to AD. The computers would not map to the new server no matter what I did, believe it or not, the solution turned out to be a simple reboot of all client computers in the domain. I am guessing it had something to do with each computer refreshing it's name lookup cache.

Thanks,
Kunal

Try deleting all the mapped drives before you execute the NET USE for
the mapped shares. There is a TON of information available as reference
on the internet.

Thanks,

Subject: [Vantage][OT] logon scripts to map drives

With the growth of the size of our Db, I'm adding a new server for
Vantage
(OS is 2003 Server). The domain controller remains the same (OS is 2000
Server, eventually upgrading to 2003 S). I've created logon scripts that
map network drives with the "net use" command in batch files for each
user
(assigned by user profile in Active Directory on the domain server).

However, the scripts run and map the drives to the domain server, but do
not
map the drives to the new server. I can map drives to the new server
through Windows explorer. I can ping the new server by name/IP address.

Any ideas why the script doesn't map to the shared drives on the new
server?

thanks,

Problem solved: somewhere along the line, I shortcut the net use command by
mistake or otherwise from "net use: \\server\share /persistent:no" to: "net
use: \\server\drive no". It didn't affect mapping to the W2000 Server, but
failed to map to the added "Vantage Server" without giving any errors.
Running the script as a batch file on my works station failed to map any
drive to either server, so that's when I found and corrected the
"/persistent:no" part. Go figure - isn't Windows wonderful?

thanks to everyone for all the suggestions.

When you log in, you should see the batch file run.

What does it say when it tries to map your drive?

to answer 2 questions: the new server is listed in the "active directory"
computers. and I can browse to the shared drives on the new server from any
pc.

Is the Vantage Server in the domain ("active directory")?

I've had already tried deleting all the mappings before I sent the email
to
the group, and the work station maps correctly to the "active directory"
server, but not to the "Vantage server".

Typing the "net use...." line from the batch file in a command window
maps
the drive successfully to the "vantage server.

If you use:

@echo off
net use /persistent:no
net use v: \\entdb2\epicor

It will unmap/delete the mapping everytime the user logs off. You may
need the /delete to get rid of your current mappings, but I would opt
for /persistent:no for everyday use to avoid this in the future.
