I want to set my user account to connect to it's home directory that located in the win2K server. I've already assign on user account option (Profile -> Home Folder -> Connect -> Z: to \\nameserver\home\Username). Unfortunatelly this option only works when i'm loggin from Win XP Pro, when i loggin from computer with Win95 or Win98 there's nothing happend. I also tried make a login script and the case is still the same, only works on client with Win XP.
Is there another special setting for Win98/95 to proceed the login script on Win2K?
 
You can use logon scripts on Win9x in Win2000 AD without DS client installed. You only must use Client for Microsoft networks as primary logon and must logon in your domain.
Also check if you have \\Domain_controller\NETLOGON share available for your users because pre-Win2000 clients uses this share to download logon scripts.
There are some Win9x specific things for scripting - you cannot map share subfolder to network disk (net use X: \\server\share\folder is invalid command), only share itself (net use X: \\server\share is OK). It is not recommended to map something to Z: because this letter Win9x uses as temporary mapping for running logon script. If you use DOS batch files for scripts, use .bat extension, not .cmd.
