Allow drive mapping for only one terminal server user 1

[warby1212]

Hi,
We want to allow drive mapping for only one or two terminal server clients but I really can't see how this is done. Is it possible?

Yes, you can certainly do this. Two ways. First and most obvious is to manually do it in the users profile. With only 1 or 2 users this is a viable solution.

Your other alternative is to script this.

Being a fan of automation, and the prospect that you MAY find need to add more users as time goes on, I would script it.

Refer to my FAQ on the subject for details.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Thanks Mark,

I've been trying to configure the individual user but admit I am a little out of my area, could I ask you for a little more information?

In the FAQ you will see in the sample script that it grabs the user login as UserString.

You can use a select case statement to then take action for your specific users.

Select Case UserString
     Case "JohnSmith"
          WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "H:", "\\server\users\" & UserString,True
          WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "U:", "\\server\users",True
          WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "X:", "\\server\executables",True

     Case "BettyJones"
          WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "H:", "\\server\users\" & UserString,True
          WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "U:", "\\server\users",True
          WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "T:", "\\server\Timerbline",True

End Select

I hope you find this post helpful.
