Thanks for the info. I've been trying to get this to work but I'm having difficulty with it.

I put the statement "logon script = startup.bat" in my [global] section. I also inserted

[netlogon]
path=/usr/local/samba/lib
browseable = no
share modes = no

into the smb.conf. And I made a startup.bat which I placed in /usr/local/samba/lib, and which contains only the command "net use h: /homes". But when I log in to the PC, unfortunately it doesn't connect me to the homes share automatically like I thought it should. I checked the samba logs and I don't see any error messages there. Anybody have ideas about what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks a lot,
Eric


I use a 'startup.bat' file that runs at login...

logon script = startup.bat

is my config line in smb.conf

then for my [netlogon] parameters I have

[netlogon]
path = /opt/samba/netlogon
browseable = No
share modes = No

and in the startup.bat file placed in /opt/samba/netlogon
I have:

net use h: /home
net use y: /CSLAB
net use x: /Accts
net use g: /STAFF

something like that..

Hello,
My boss claims that it is possible to set up a PC as a Samba client in such a way that every Windows user who logs in to that PC will automatically be connected to a certain designated Samba share, without the user himself having to map the network drive to the Samba share. That is, the boss claims that I, as the administrator of the PC, have the power to set up some kind of global mapping for all the PC users so that each user doesn't have to do the mapping himself. Is there any truth to this claim? I haven't found any mention of this feature in the Samba documentation.
Thanks,
Eric
