Is there a way that I can map 2 network drives and have them be seem by all users that log onto this pc? [bugeyed]
 
You can do the map in the logon script. Or you can logon as the user and do the map, specifying to reconnect at logon.

The command line version:

net use x: \\server\sharename /persistant:yes

 
Well thank you but this did not seem to work. I logged onto the PC as the local administrator then went to a command prompt. I then typed
net use x: \\servername\sharename /persistent:yes
for both drives and it mapped them with no problems. I then looked into my computer to verify that the drives were there and I could access them. I then logged into the PC as one of the users and the drives were not there. Any other ideas? Does it make a difference if these are samba shares? I dont think it would considering I can see them and use the shares as the local PC administrator.
 
You misunderstood me, or I was not clear enough.

If you are not going to use the Logon batch approach, you would have to do a seperate logon as each user. I did not mean to imply that as Administrator you could do a single command session.

 
Sorry, I misunderstood. The script worked. Is there a way that I can do this on the PC before deplaying it? I am in the process of building the corporate image and everyone needs to have these drives mapped. Is there a way that I can build it into the image so that whoever uses the PC will get the drives?
