I've heard a little about SUBST...does that work, or are their other suggestions!?!?

Different commands are required for the diff o/s's when being performed from Windows NT scripts (not the KiX 'use' command):

Win2K: net use f: \\server\share\folder\subfolder
WinNT: subst f: \\server\share\folder\subfolder
Win9x: net use f: /home

The Win9x requires HOME be defined within User Manager.

I am using Kixtart in a Win2k server environment. From my NT test PC, I used the SUBST command line that you mentioned and I received an Invalid Parameter error.

I've also tried other options, such as:

use k: @homedir ,or
use k: @homeshr ,or
use k: "\\test_\users$ /user:bcc\@userid"

...but no luck. I get a drive mapping to the share but not to the root of the user's home directory.

While logged into the SERVER with Admin Rights. Right click on My Computer, then select Manage. Then in Shared Folders you will find another entry for
Shares. In there you can share out a folder.
To prevent users from seeing these shares you put a $ on the end, like this: FMLAST$

Then as an example, in User Manager you would share out the users folder like this:

The user fmlast would map his home drive to:
Map U: drive to: \\myserver\FMLAST$

The folder FMLAST should exist and the user needs to have rights to it. Normally Administrators=Full Rights, Domain Admins=Full Rights, System=Full Rights, and User=Change Rights (you can set yours to what ever you want though).

Then to test it is working, log into a workstation of Windows 9x and type from a DOS BOX - NET USE U: /HOME and you should now get the U: drive mapped to this users home folder. Then you login script should be able to map your Window 9x home folders.

As an example we use a folder on the root of the D: or E: drive with USERS and under USERS we add all the user folders. Then we share all folders under USERS as a hidden share.

At this point the Windows NT/2000 should be able to map their home folder with or without your login script, just by means of User Manager. The Win9x systems are the ones that typically need help.

If I am way off base on what you are trying to accomplish please let me know.
