Hi,
Our DC is windows 2003 sp1, 90% of clients are windows XP pro. I'm
changing my login script in dos batch file to acheive this:
If login name is "frank", then run "net use y: \\server\folder".

My script is:

if %username%==frank goto dist_special
dist_special
net use y: \\server\folder
end

It works for any user even the login is not frank. I don't follow
this. Can anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance,

Well, a couple of things. If you want the goto thingy to work, you have to
preface it with a colon -

----------------------
if blah goto whatever

:whatever
some other command
----------------------

If that's just a typo, perhaps you haven't included enough of the login
script for us to know what happens if someone's username is not Frank. I
suppose you could insert

exit
right after the if ...

but you could also try

if %username%==frank net use y: \\server\folder /persistent:no

or use IFMEMBER from the resource kit, so you can do all this with AD groups
and not muck around with individual user accounts?
