no, not at all. the script is in VB.. you can do SO MUCH in that one script.. i will just point all depts. to that script and dont touch group policy again.. anytime i need to change something, i just edit the vbs file. i read a lot of places to use a .vbs file, as opposed to the batch files for more control. theres a lot that can be done.

anyone can help me with the VBS coding?

But for My Documents, how would I assign all users their MAPPINGs at once? I would do it indivindually through group policy? I have to do this in the quickest manner for my work..

but if I used batch files, I would need to have a SEPERATE batch file for each OU. If I use a .vbs file, I can have ONE file and just compare the dept and allow users access...

Hi , Im REAL new with VB and scripting. Im more into networking. I have about 4 departments. I want to MAP the users to their shared drives on the network, and I also want to map their My Documents folder to their shared drive on the network. How do I do that? I found the following snippet on microsoft: Const ENGINEERING_GROUP = "cn=engineering" Const FINANCE_GROUP = "cn=finance" Const HUMAN_RESOURCES_GROUP = "cn=human resources" Set wshNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "h:", "\\FileServer\Users\" & wshNetwork.UserName Set ADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo") Set CurrentUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & ADSysInfo.UserName) strGroups = LCase(Join(CurrentUser.MemberOf)) If InStr(strGroups, ENGINEERING_GROUP) Then wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "g:", "\\FileServer\Engineering\" wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\PrintServer\EngLaser" wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\PrintServer\Plotter" wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\PrintServer\EngLaser" ElseIf InStr(strGroups, FINANCE_GROUP) Then wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "g:", "\\FileServer\Finance\" wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\PrintServer\FinLaser" wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\PrintServer\FinLaser" ElseIf InStr(strGroups, HUMAN_RESOURCES_GROUP) Then wshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "g:", "\\FileServer\Human Resources\" wshNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\PrintServer\HrLaser" wshNetWork.SetDefaultPrinter "\\PrintServer\HrLaser" End If My info: Departments: IT QA Finance Engineering Executive Fileserver: Neptune1 Nas1 I will use Group Policy in AD to implement this. All users have 2000 or XP. So I want to look at the department, and MAP users to their drives. Can someone modify the code for me to reflect that? Thanks
