Hi,
I have a AD DC setup with about 100 users, the users home directories
are organized into folders for each OU, because the users home
directory is 2 levels deep it obviously won't mount on windows 98.
Currently my map to H: looks like
\\server1\DATA\Users\Departmentname\username works fine for 2000 + xp
but windows 98 can only mount shares, so is there a way I can make a
virtual share that will set each username to a share? So my H: drive
would goto \\server1\username since I have 100 users I am not going to
create a share for each user. I have used Samba on linux before and it
has a built in home directories share that will share each users home
directory and allow you you mount it like I mentioned. Is what I
suggest possible under Windows Server?


Why not create a share for each user? This command will do it
when executed from the parent folder of "UserName":

for /d %a in (*.*) do net share %a=d:\UserShares\%a


.
