I think you are talking about roaming user profiles.

What you will need to do is write a script with the needed maps. Then you will need to go into the Active directory and point each User to the map. This will set them up each time they login.

To create a network map drive.
Let's suppose you wish that the share \\station1\TheShare to be mapped in the L:

net use L: \\station1\TheShare

Pay attention at network user rights for accessing that share.
See a little more here: http://www.cae.wisc.edu/site/public/?title=nt4netuse .

First off my apoligizes for the short incomplete answer the other day.
Try this:
Open Notepad and write in your needed maps.

Code: [Select]

@echo

net use f: \\server\c
net use g: \\workstation\pictures
you will then need to save this (any name, I name ours login.bat) with a .bat extension.
Save it here: C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\domain\scripts
Then go into Active Directory and open a user, select the profile tab and type in login.bat(the name you cretead)  in the Logon script location. Select OK and then finish correcting the rest of the users.

I hope this is more defined for you.


Side note:
You can create multiple logins for each user. Just create seperate scripts and point the user to the script they need.
