Mapping drives with out logon scrip

Is there a way to map drives with out the use of a logon script for users?
we have about 20 groups of drive mappings we have to set up for differnt
groups of users and having a logon script for each of them gets a little
annoying... I've seen systems that have them just mapped and no visible sign
of a logon script running... how would you do this? thanks

It is just done in the normal properties of the user account in the section
for thier "home directory".

You could have everyone run the same script. There are a lot of options -
IFMEMBER in your batch file, KIXtart, other kinds of scripts, etc....you
could post in m.p.windows.server.scripting for some help.

Hi

For some VBScript examples, take a look under "Group Membership Tests" and
"Logon Scripts" under "Free VBScript Code" at
http://www.rlmueller.net/

You will also find logon script examples with group testing etc. at
http://cwashington.netreach.net as well.

E.g. here:
