Iam going to try this new GP Monday. If it does not work I am going to change the redirection to the home directory that is set in the profile.

I had it to where I could log in to one of the work station but I guess it went to sleep and I can not wake it up

Hey hey hey

I don't know exactly what I did but it is working today.
I created a new GP.
Set the home profile to z: \\Replogleserver\username in the user profile
set the redirection to \\Replogleserver\%username%

Deleted the old policy and re-assigned to the policy to the OUs. Everything now works.
I don't get it but yeehoo..... it works.
Now to setup roaming profiles and so on.

I am ordering a new server October 2nd. RAID 1 for the OS and RAID 5 for the data. I really wanted to get this issue resolved for the upcoming server. I am going to start over from scratch and NOT migrate anything.

I will also be using the script that you two were talking about with assigning driver letters to the server. I have been working the past two years creating test in Examview Pro and Examview has the capabilty of a testing center. That way when I get ready to test the students I can "activate" the test and they will then be able to take it.

I am starting to get excited

Here is what my script will look like as per Bobby's instructions

Code: Select all

'Option Explicit
Dim objFSO, objNetwork, strRemotePath1
Dim strDriveLetter1

Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Remove any old drive mappings before starting
If objFSO.DriveExists("T:") = True Then
        objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "T:", True, True
    End If

'Set variables
strDriveLetter1 = "T:"
strRemotePath1 = "\\Replogleserver\testcenter"
' Section which maps drives,
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter1, strRemotePath1

What do you think?

looks good. I would put a WScript.Quit at the end just for added measure.

let me know if you want to drop an icon on their desktop.

[NT50]

like so?

Code: Select all

'Option Explicit
Dim objFSO, objNetwork, strRemotePath1
Dim strDriveLetter1

Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Remove any old drive mappings before starting
If objFSO.DriveExists("T:") = True Then
        objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "T:", True, True
    End If

'Set variables
strDriveLetter1 = "T:"
strRemotePath1 = "\\Replogleserver\testcenter"
' Section which maps drives,
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter1, strRemotePath1

WScript.Quit

[_Taz_]

hey thanks for renaming the post

so, by the way, were you using %usename% or %username?

cause i thought it was %username, at least thats what i use on server 2000, maybe they both work

[NT50]

It is suppose to be %username%

Did I have a typo?

Edit: I corrected the typo above.. Tks for pointing out

[nightfire]

so, my login script is down below, and it is a .vbs file.

how can i have my logon script set which printer is the default printer for a user?

this is important because i don't want users automatically printing to the color
