Hi Jason,

Thanks for your posting here.

You can also use the following script. For example, 'test' is a domain user
and home directory location \\server\home\test$

Open AD users and computer
logon information
logon script: logon.bat
home dire location "Home Directory > Connect.. To": z: \\server\test$

Create a logon.bat as below.

net use * /home

Logon as user and only the specific home directory is mapped.

      We have moved from NT4.0 to Server 2003 and now our Windows 98 users
home
      directories are not mapping automatically, we have to map them
manually.
      Has anyone else had this problem or know of a fix for it?
      
      Cheers
