Auto mapping for all user

All users are Domain User. All users will have a 'H'and 'I' mapped drives
after login to the their workstations.
'H' drive is their individual Home drive. 'I' drive is the department drive
(different user from different department will have different mapped folder
but same 'I' drive name).

Based on the above, what is the best practise to do it?

Hello,
You may use a logon script, in batch/Kix (old fashion) or in vbscript.

We use one with an ini file that map drive based on group membership.

Looking around on search engine for "logon script" would help you a lot

What do you call home drive ? Mydocs ?

'H' drive is the home drive. User personnal drive.
Eg. User logon name as 'peter', it will auto mapped a 'H' drive as H:\peter.
Only user Peter can access this drive.

Why not just redirecting "My Docs" to the network and let them store in "My
docs"

Else they will have 2 choices: My Docs and H:\. Sure you would have to
redirect My docs anyway, as users will store things in it anyway. H:\ may
also point to the My docs redirected folders too

Have a look at a sample I used. you would just have to add Case statements
for each departmental drive....
