running logon scripts for different users?

[kermalou]

I am new to Windows 2003 Server using a doman, previously used a workgroup.

Now, I am reading all over the internet and cant find an easy answer to this problem. I have User 1, User 2, and User 3.

I am using the Group Policy to run a logon script for all users to map \\server1 to S and \\server2 to T. I want to have only User2 map \\server3 to L and only User3 to map \\server3 to F.

Is it easy, hard?

First of all, I think you can define a login script for the user itself, if you don't have many, and they are all different, you could do it there.

you need to organize your AD directory. You should put the different users into different OU's and containers, Then write the script and apply the GPO's,

So lets say you have2 drives for all users to map. Write the script, and apply that to your users OU. Next, you have accounting guy, who needs a seperate mapped drive, so you put his user in a container under users called "accounting" and apply another GPO to container map that drive. Inside of Continue as needed. This is assuming you will logiclly segment the company (be it geographically, or logically) in AD, so that all accounting users would have drives A, B, C, and D mapped, and all engineers would have B, C, and F, etc.

thanks.

here is the problem. When I set up my users, about 10 of them, with the IT guy we never set up different OU.

Now when I make up a new OU, I have to set up new users, when infact I already have my users set up.

I am at wit's end.

Huh?

jlazzaro already answered but drag your users to the OU you want them to live in.

If I drag them from the regular Users to that OU do they lose the permissions they already have?

what do you mean by "permissions"....OU's are different then "groups", and I THINK you are talking about NTFS permissions, that are applied to user objects and group objects, which are not affected by this.
