Script to map drives

[Colin Edwards]

Hi

I have a requirement for some home user machines to be able to connect to our network via VPN and map network drives. I can get all the drives mapped apart from the home directory

I have tried using the %username% variable but this doesn't work (e.g. \\server\server\%username%). It uses the account name the user has logged in with and this can be anything as its a home PC

I need some sort of script that will prompt for user name and password and then map a home directory n the username

Any suggestions?

think you find that you may need to mess about with the security settings. i'm sure that by default windows blocks sharing of home directories. so you need to change that setting first.

sorry, but i'm too tired to really understand what is fully going on. hope this helps somewhat though.

All settings are fine and dealt with

Just need someway to get the script to prompt for a user name and then use the username as the variable

Got it:


echo "Enter Username"
set /p UserName=
echo "Password"
set /p PassWord=

net use m: "\\server\share\%USERNAME%" /User:domain\%username% %password% /PERSISTENT:NO
net use n: "\\server\share" /User:icr\%username% %password% /PERSISTENT:NO
