Can't map home drive in windows 2000 Domain.

[Celinagroup]

I am trying to setup a login script for Windows 98. This works in 2000. I map a drive to \\server\%username% It doesn't work on the 98 system but all of my other drive mappings do.(I CAN browse my network places and go to my home folder) I do not want to create one for every person using 98 so is there a way to map the home drive to someone's system much like the \\server\%username% option which works for 2000.

The variable %username% dont work in Windows 9x by default. If you want to use Windows 2000 style variables in logonscripts you can use small utils 'putinenv' and 'winset'. Read thread thread96-669186
You can download these utils also from

and

As alternative, if you have specified every user's home drive, you can use this command in your logon script:
net use /home

Thanks for you help. I am using kixtart for my login scripts and it doesn't map any drives when I add those commands in so I am looking to see what changes I made to it. I appreciate your suggestions.
