Re: startup script to install drivers from a share?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You can't map drives from a computer startup script . Only from a user login
script. The computer account has no session at this point.

Give user the ability to connect their own printers. Use permission on the
print manager to control who can access which printers.

This is the current W2K model and is a little silly to try to get around.

It's easy to add the mapping script to user login script for the OU for
default printers by department or physical location. Teaching users how to
browse and connect is even easier and give the user more control and a great
sense of being part of the network.

There is a tool posted on the MS download site that can let you hide
resource form users by group membership. This is useful for reducing the
visible complexity of the "Network Neighborhood" down to only that which a
user can actually access. The tool is a convenience but not absolutely
necessary since you can do the same thing through permissions.
