#4416 - 2000-10-10 08:49 PM Drive Mappings from 95 to 2k Server
Anonymous
Unregistered


Ok guy's Please help. I have Win 95 clients logging into a NT 4.0 Domain and trying to map a drive on a shared dir on a 2k Server.
The directory I'm trying to get to is \\Server\users\username. I get to \\server\users and that's it. Back on the 95 box I can't manually map the drive ether. All dir's are hidden shares with the $ sigh. I know file Repl. is happening (I can change the .SCR file and changes take affect on the next login). What's The deal ??? Sorry about being long winded.

on win9x, winME, and NT computers you can only map a drive to the share level (\\computer\share)

On win2k you can map root you what ever level that you want.


Note: On NT you can use a command called subst to maproot to a level below the share level.

This is pretty much the same problem I've run into on my Windows 98 boxes. The script works great on XP and 2K but I run into the root mapping problem in 98. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? Most of my mappings are setup as... \\server\share\share. If anyone has any possible solutions I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks!

The only solution is to create a hidden share for each user directory, e.g \\server\username$ for the windows 9x client. There are a couple of scripts already posted which automatically create those shares.

P.S.: Damn, this post is already a year and a half old. This might call for a FAQ?!

It really doesn't matter if the username folder is a hidden share or not.

Simply.. you have it like this:

\\server\users\username.. with "users" shared. This doesn't work. You have to share each "username" folder instead, whether hidden or not. You can use the RMTSHARE.EXE program in the NT resource kit as a tool to create a share from a server script.
