Is there a way to map root to users private drive in Windows 2000 - i.e. C:\users\daveb. (it is very easy in Novell)I want to do this so users can not map back to C:\users and see all the other drives.

Today I create hidden share for the users, change the path in thier profile and have to go to the server to windows explorer and make the folder a hidden share which corresponds to their private directory. This is ver cumbersome.

Thank you very much

I am not sure if I understood your question, but however try to read about Net Use (resource kit command) and Use (Kix command).
I hope this will help.

Thank you.

I have used the Net Use command. It will work if I build a share for the users directory at the server.

Is there a way to create a share for a user without being at the server console or terminal served in?

I need to make the directory a share to be able to map to it.

Thank you

A quick search under >>Scripts for "create user share" brings up a lot of interesting hits. The one you may best benefit from is: http://kixtart.org/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=001959

Please try the batch file from the post Les pointed you to. It works great for us. We still use it as we move forward with our migration from NT 4.0 to 20000

Also use NTFS permissions to keep out everyone except the appropriate users.
