Logon Scripts

Currently we do not use login scripts. I would like to start using
login scripts to map my users network drives and I just need some
pointers to get started. Should the scripts be written as a .bat file
or can vbscript used? Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks.

it is a batch file, placed in the netlogon share of the dc

You could use .bat for the simple tasks, and then go to Kixtart if you need
more advanced action.. No reason in the world for VB script. You can edit
and place the script in the Netlogon directory as mentioned above. Start
with simple batch file, test it and go forward.

it could be the batch or script. If you want a simple mapping, use batch file.

I am trying to map a drive to my personal folder on the server. All of
the personal folders are shared as firstname lastname. When the .bat
file runs, it fails to map the drive. The syntax I am using is:
net use P: \\servername\%username%

If I map the drive using this synax it works: "net use P:
\\servername\firstname lastname"

I don't think net use likes the space in the share name. Is there a way
I can use the %username% in the command?
