I have spent a lot of time dealing with this, but I only briefly tried using the settings in smb.conf to accomplish this drive mapping.

I have discovered that using group policy does work, but only if you're mapping the drives in a GPO that is applied to users, not computers. That is, the mappings work if you have all your users in some OU (mine is called people) that has some GPO (People_GP) linked to it. In People_GP, User Configuration->Preferences->Windows Settings->Drive Maps.

I had mistakenly thought that settings in the User Configuration section of a GPO would apply to any user logging onto a machine which is part of the OU the GPO is linked with. I wish that were the case, but unfortunately it's not.

I also had logon scripts working in the same People_GP (User Config->Administrative Templates->System->Logon). I never tried making those machine-specific.

You can try this. It works for me on vista and win7:

net use m: /HOME

The [homes] share is working fine.

The problem is not with the actual script. The problem is that the script is
not being run at login on Windows 7 wheras it is on WindowsXP

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm trying to get Windows 7 to run a logon script which mounts a share at
login. This works fine for Windows XP

In my smb.conf I have the following

        logon script = %G.cmd
        logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U
        logon drive = H:
        logon home = \\YOUNGMUNSTER\homes

The script is

        @echo
        @echo            Setting System Policies:  Please Wait.
        @echo off
        NET TIME \\janus /SET /YES>  X
        net use M: \\youngmunster\ug2010 /persistent:no>  X
        del X


The homes share works fine but the logon script does not seem to be
executed. Any ideas how to get this working.

Thanks

Tony
