Applying drive maps to all users in a group

[whalen]

Does anyone know of a way in windows 2000 that I could apply a set of drive maps to all users in a certain group? I've looked, and it seems possible, but i just can't seem to find out the way this needs to be done.

What type of scripting language to you wish to use? WSH, VBScript, Batch files, KixStart, etc?

Yeah....you need to write a batch file....login.bat i.e. which will map the drives for your clients.

I'd like to use a simple batch file. The thing i want to know however, is how can i apply this to an entire group without having to apply the login script for each user separately. I.E, map X:\... Y:\... Z:\... on user computers and F:\... G:\... H:\... on admin. computers.

Probably the best way would be to use Windows Scripting Host. You could use KiXtart, but you would need to have the KiXtart program loaded on all of your clients. Now, two things I would like to know:

1. Are your clients all Windows 2000 or are they Windows 9x/NT clients?
2. If they aren't Windows 2000 clients, what version of IE is installed?

Thats the problem...there are a a few Win2k machines mixed with a few 98 machines, and even a few 95 machines. If I could just get it working on the 2k/98 boxes, i'd be happy. As for IE, i'm not totally sure about all of them, but most are 5.0 I'd say. We're trying to avoid having to install locally on each machine because of the time it would take, so thats why we want to do this all from the server.

TIA
