Create a folder called USERS. In USERS folder, create folders for each
user, share the folders appended by a $ sign. Then for windows 98 machines,
you can use the %username%. Try the following:
net config | find /I "User">usor.bat
echo set USERNAME=%%2>user.bat
call usor.bat
del us?r.bat >nul
net use <drive letter>: \\<server name>\%username%$
For NT workstations, you can use %username% as is without the above script.
Make sure net.exe is in the path.

Please
respond to
"NT System
Admin Issues"
To answer a few questions, my clients are Windows 98 machines, so
sharing out the directory via \\servername\sharename\%USERNAME% is not
available. Wish I could, that would have been done long before. As far as
sharing each directory, I would have also done that, but with the extra
admin work needed to create hundreds of accounts per year, plus with the
staff doing the adding not being that knowledgable on NT Server, I wanted
to make it as simple as can be.
Thanks,
Terry Caleb
