PUTINENV.EXE may be useful for other reasons, but it is not necessary to map a user to their home directory. Define the user's home directory in their profile and simply use
NET USE H: /HOME To map the user's drive. Works with clients from Windows 95 thru XP.

I dont know precisley what this does, but we use it in the capacity that it takes the username and is then able to map a drive letter to a share matching the username. For example, user Joe Bloggs has the username JBloggs. JBloggs home folder is shared as JBloggs$. Using PUTINENV.EXE, we are able to map the H: drive directly to JBloggs$ After the logon script runs the, you simply do a NET USE H: \\SERVER\%USERNAME%$ When the user clicks their H: drive, it will be the contents of their network drive only, nothing else. Hope that is of some use. Cheers. -----Original Message----- From: Jeffrey G. Witt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 5:49 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: Novell Migration I am planning on migrating our shared files from Novell to Win2000 shares. On the Novell server if a user does not have filescan permissions they cannot even see the folder in the browser window. Is there a comparable permission I can remove with Microsoft? The problem is with Novell we are mapping H:\ to a departmental folder which also has all the home directories for that department. I do not want everyone in the department to see everyone elses home folders. If they are visible they will attempt to click and get the access denied message and start asking questions about why they cannot get to it. Any solutions?
