I found the following link very good when setting up my domain

Thanks Charles,
I think you're right, what I'm trying to accomplish is probably better/easier
with a Domain Controller. However, I'm surely brain-dead as I've tried to set
the box up as a Domain Controller and although my Windows machine will login in
to the domain it still won't run the script so I think I must be missing
something. Domain Controllers are a completely new thing to me so it's no
surprise I'm struggling :-(
If anyone has a simple example smb.conf file that does all this and any other
hints I'd much appreciate it.
Regards
Mike... struggling, exhausted, frustrated....

I had assumed that the smb.conf entry for "logon script = %U.bat" was
all that would be needed and would pick up the user's name and
password as they logged into the server (through a desktop shortcut)
and run that script which would map the required drives etc.
Basically what we want is to set up all our Win2000 PCs to log into
windows as a generic staff member then when they click on the desktop
shortcut they are prompted for their server username & password
and... hey presto all their network drives appear in My Computer.
I'm trying real hard to understand why you wouldn't just set the server
up as a proper domain controller... it makes stuff like this brain-dead
easy...
