Can a logon script be wrote to do roaming profiles? I have been looking through group policy but I did not see a way to set a policy for a roaming profile share. So I assume there may be a script that can do it. Also is there a logon script that will create the users home folder in the root of a directory for example \\homeflders\johndoe. I want the john doe folder create for me I don't want to have to manually create it. I found an example but in this example you must manually create the folder.

' VBScript.
' Purpose of script to map a network drive to J:\
Dim oNet, sUser

Set oNet = CreateObject("Wscript.Network")

sUser =oNet.UserName

oNet.MapNetworkDrive "J:", "\\AtoZserver\home\" & sUser

Since you mention "group policy" I assume the OS here is Win2k (or xp).

Roaming profiles and home folders are "domain" level features. If you have Active Directory installed, then they are usually configured in the user properties dialog of Active Directory Users and Computers. If you have Active Directory installed, I'll be happy to explain further how this is done.

Yes I do have ad installed and I know its configured in the users properties but if your setting up a lot of users that takes up a lot of time. I just assumed there was a way of automating this.
