so, i tried that script for the folders and got an error when a user logged on.

i did modify it, and ill post it below.

also, the share im trying to use is on a secondary hard drive within the server, but is shared. for some reason, when i typed in the share name on the computer, it wouldn't come up...

that looks like a lower case w:

also make sure you can see the share from the workstation, goto start\run type in

"\\sllabserver\Sllab Shared" and see if it opens
are you sure it's shared as sllab shared? maybe just shared?

well users are locked from the cmd prompt, but when i log onto the computer as admin, i can access it

heres my total script, and heres the error message above it:

"error"
"line 14, char 5"
"Name Redefined"

use this:

Code: Select all

Option Explicit

Dim objNetwork, strLocal, strUNCPrinter1, strUNCPrinter2, strUNCPrinter3
strUNCPrinter1 = "\\sllabserver\HPColorLaserjet"
strUNCPrinter2 = "\\sllabserver\HPLaserJet4100_BandW"
strUNCPrinter3 = "\\sllabserver\HP_Plotter"
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strUNCPrinter1
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strUNCPrinter2
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strUNCPrinter3

Dim strRemotePath1, strDriveLetter1

strDriveLetter1 = "W:"
strRemotePath1 = "\\sllabserver\Shared"

' Section which maps two drive W:
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter1, strRemotePath1
Wscript.Quit

OK

I setup the Tutor user as describe before pointing the home directory to E:\users\tutor
Full right to the tutor folder for the user of Tutor
I set in the GP the folder redirection to \\server\tutor (which you can access bia typing in \\server\tutor) and it did not work.

I did a gpupdate /force and rebooted and that did not work.

I am at a loss trying to figure this out.

I made a change tonight and will try a login tomorrow. I went into the security and permissions and added the doamin user tutor and give full permissions to that folder. Before I only added the user to the security. Now I click on advance and added the user tutor to permissions.

We will see what happens tomorrow on this setting.

Anybody got any suggestions?

[_Taz_]

just for grins put that user and a computer in it's own ou and see what happens.

also did you run gpresult to see if it was getting the policy?

yes you are not getting the policy, it should be under Applied group policy.
