The Samba server is set up with the same username/password combination as their PCs so they don't have to supply username/password again and drive mappings are saved by Windows. A very simple system which has proved easy to maintain. MS> We are trying now to introduce "Generic" PCs which any user can access (hot desking I think it is called). So, we want the Samba server to prompt the user for a username/password combination when they click on the desktop shortcut to the server (we've accomplished that part easily) and then automatically run a login script to map their drives - that's the part we are struggling to find a solution to. MS> All the examples we've found so far refer to "Domain Controllers" - Do we have to set up the server as a Domain controller, do we have to create machines accounts etc ? A domain controller would be my prefered solution. But you can use login scripts without. Run gpedit.msc on computers needing the login script. Local computer policy --> user configuration --> windows settings --> scripts --> logon --> add define the location of your script.
