Windows 2000 mapping

[hiisc]

I am trying to map a share folder from 98 to my 2000 server.

Although all the script and shared folder is set properly, i can't map the driver from 98, but i can map it in that own 2000 server.

Hope someone can help me on this...

what error are you getting?

If you're trying to map to a drive or folder on 98, then you have to set File and Print Sharing to be enabled, I think.

I try to map share folder from windows 2000 server on my client site, there is no error, login successfully but it just that the share folder in windows 2000 can not be map, the logon script is not running at all. althought in windows 2000 i had set the correct netlogon folder.

I get the same thing. I have setup a loing script in the proper place to disconnect persistent mappings and map only the drives i want. It works on 2000 machines but the windows 98 machines completely ignore it and they are set up as file and print sharing.

I think, though not 100% sure, that the net statements used to map drives, and clear persistent mappings don't work properly with W98 as a rule. Mainly because the local profile which is launched AFTER the batch files from netlogon takes precedence.
If you are using W2K as your Domain Controller, and Active Directory, you might try uisng the profile GPO. Here you can set it up to not allow the client to implement its policy over the Domain policy. Though I'm not 100% sure (never am really!) if this works with W98 for the same reason, and only works with W2K Pro or above.
Can't hurt to try, though.
