There's a check box there where Cyberdyne said to look. It says "Reconnect at logon".

Ok so if you are on a domain go to the user and assign them a drive (this will depend on the version of the server, small business or standard, R2 or non R2)

But either one has the capacity...

In the server management go to users, right click on the user you want and go to properties, then go to Profile then Under Home folder Check "Connect" choose the drive you want.

Good Luck. (don't forget to relogon the user for changes to take effect)

Looks like you will have to do a group policy and run client install commands on next logon.

do you use active directory? if so setup a batch file, and add it to the login script under account tab for each particular user. this will run under every long on. will go something like...

//this part deletes the drives on logon
net use h: \\servername\sh arename /d
net use i: \\servername\sh arename /d
net use j: \\servername\sh arename /d

//this part remaps the drives on logon
net use h: \\servername\sh arename
net use i: \\servername\sh arename
net use j: \\servername\sh arename

try that, if not i think you cans till setup a logon script under xp!

I'm developing a .net application and I need to save files in a network drive. I need to create a subdirectory and I've tried this: Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(Path); Directory.CreateDirectory("folder1"); I've tried with values of 'Path' like "Z:\Dir", "\\remoteserver\Dir", ... (Z the mapped unit and remoteserver the name of the remote machine) but seems that the class Directory can't work with remote drives.

Hi, I'm trying to connect to a network share using a username / password / domain of my choosing. I've tried the WindowsIdentity.Impersonate route but can only impersonate the users on the local machine / domain using this method. I could go about creating actual mapped drives but I'd much rather connect temporarily to a UNC share without affecting the system configuration.

Hi, I'm writing a file browser, but I'm not sure how I could go about detecting the drives available on windows and linux systems (preferably using the standard modules if possible). I guess I could just try to list root on each letter of the alphabet for windows and see if it works, but that seems crude; besides, I want to know what kind of drive each drive/partition is (i.e. is it local and is it a harddrive or optical drive). Thanks,
