Mapping Network Drives through AD/GP
I am trying to map a network drive by using a login script through group policy applied to a OU in group policy. it looks as though the client machines are not even trying to run the script according to the logs... i have ran the script manually on the client machines and it maps the drive with no problems. I am using the NET USE command in a .bat file for the script. I am at a loss and im am pretty sure it may be something simple that i am overlooking...

any help would be appreciated!!!

THANKS!

Can you post the script you're using?

Can you detail the policy you're applying, and how you're applying it.

What OS is the server / clients?

I am applying the policy to the OU that contains the users. There is another group policy appied to the entire domain, but I dont want this drive to be mapped for all users, only the ones in the OU. I cant post the script at the moment, but it was just a basic NET USE bat file. Server os is win2k server, client os is xp pro and 2k pro. login scripts are on the server in a share that all domain users have permissions on. I can access the share and run the script manually and it works great. My gut feeling is that there may be a policy conflict somewhere but there isnt anything in the domian policy for login or logout scripts. im not sure what else would prevent the client machine from running the script.

Try putting the scripts in the SYSVOL share, and then apply the scripts to each user in Active Directory.

i will try it for one, but the whole idea of this was to set it up so that when i throw a user into the OU, they are mapped to the drive - i dont really want to have to map each user individually. thanks for the help.

Well you wouldn't be mapping each user individually. You may have to set each user account to use the script now, but from that point on, whenever you set up a user account, you would just assign them that login script just like anything else.
