Is there an alternative to a login script ?

[lostexchange]

Hi,
We have a really horrible login script written by someone who is no longer with the company. We would a way around the dreaded login script if at all possible. Is there a way of mapping users drives using either Citrix or Windows 2000 server besides a login script??
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

is mapping drives all you need to do? or something more complex?
either way, login scripts have made huge strides and are very easy to write in either the old .bat format or now in the more flexible, .vbs (vbscript) language.

i prefer to use vb, but a plain old .bat works perfectly fine in Win2k for mapping drives. Example of 2 line .bat file for mapping 2 drives for all users:

net use T: \\server1\data /persistent:no
net use X: \\server1\users /persistent:no

Thanks for the reply however we have many departments that have different drives and if you need certain applications you need drive mapping for those applications to work. So we are back to complex login scripts. Someone recently said I could do this all via 2000 policies. But I am not sure how.
