SharePoint - Group Policy

Asked By rossk

I have what I think fits in this area a question.  Recently I had some
issue with my GP not working, that is now fixed.  The issue comes in
when a user logs into the domain the batch script to mount the drives
and drive letters works but there is no name associated to that
drive.  So they get a M:drive but it says discconected network drive.
The drive is in fact working.
The script looks like this:
net use X: \\Server\pictures /Persistent:No
echo X: pictures

Am I missing something in the batch script?  Is there something with
in grop policy that I am missing?

Thanks

why not using .vbs ...

Const NETHOOD = &H13&

Set objWSHShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(NETHOOD)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
strNetHood = objFolderItem.Path

strShortcutName = "Name of the site"
strShortcutPath = "\\this.is.the.site\"

Set objShortcut = objWSHShell.CreateShortcut _
(strNetHood & "\" & strShortcutName & ".lnk")
objShortcut.TargetPath = strShortcutPath
objShortcut.Save

I would love to I do not know VBS.  Unless you can write it for me
below:
\\GGMAIN\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s GGMAIN
net use M: "\\GGMAIN\architecture\Job & Master Files" /Persistent:No
net use O: \\GGMAIN\architecture\Drop /Persistent:No
net use R: \\GGMAIN\architecture\Drawings /Persistent:No
net use V: \\GGMAIN\architecture\Drawings\Verizon /Persistent:No
net use X: \\GGMAIN\architecture /Persistent:No
net use J: \\GGMAIN\architecture\IndustrialDesign /Persistent:No

Also do I write it in a text editor and save as a .vbs?  Then where do
I stick this?  In the same place in the GPO that there currect scipt
is?
Thanks

This is what I have based off what you typed to me:

Const NETHOOD =3D &H13&
Set objWSHShell =3D CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set objShell =3D CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder =3D objShell.Namespace(NETHOOD)
Set objFolder =3D objShell.Namespace(NETHOOD)
Set objFolderItem =3D objFolder.Self
strNetHood =3D objFolderItem.Path

strShortcutName =3D "Job & Master Files"
strShortcutPath =3D "\\GGMAIN\architecture\Job & Master Files"
strShortcutName =3D "Drop"
strShortcutPath =3D "\\GGMAIN\architecture\Drop"
strShortcutName =3D "Drawings"
strShortcutPath =3D "\\GGMAIN\architecture\Drawings"
strShortcutName =3D "Verizon"
strShortcutPath =3D "\\GGMAIN\architecture\Drawings\Verizon"
strShortcutName =3D "Architecture"
strShortcutPath =3D "\\GGMAIN\architecture"
strShortcutName =3D "Industrial Design"
strShortcutPath =3D "\\GGMAIN\architecture\IndustrialDesign"

Set objShortcut =3D objWSHShell.CreateShortcut _
(strNetHood & "\" & strShortcutName & ".lnk")
objShortcut.TargetPath =3D strShortcutPath
objShortcut.Save

This is not working.  I launched it after logging in to the domain and
no drives show up and no drive letters.

Thanks

Nothing happens, no drives no errors.  Also how can I assign drive
letters to those drives?

i didn´t read that you need a drive-letter, this script produces the links
in the network hive
in windows explorer, sorry for that ... but u can subst drive letters to
this areas in e.g. windows vista.
