Mapping Documents to N:\ and hiding the local disks.

Postby thornhillr » Sun Jul 18, 2010 8:36 am

I have successfully tried to set up a cc3 server, but hit a few problems with the RMMC which i have created post about, but no-one has replied. The thing is that i only want to use the Domain Controller as the computer for people to logon until i get a laptop or comp to setup onto. As you may have guessed its not a school, it just for home use. I cant get users My Documents to be mapped to N:\. Also due to the fact that user profiles cant be created because they arent admins they are just ordinary Staff Usertypes etc, and they have to be added to the Administrators group and all of the local disks are displayed, is there any way i can have the local disks not be displayed on user profiles and just the administrators.

Many Thanks.

On Server 2003, create a new network share call it 'Documents'. In My Computer click Tools >> Map Network Drive and click on 'Documents' on CC3-DC01.

that should map the drive...

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. On an RM Server or computer when someone logs on they can go straight to my Documents or my computer and it says something like $(USERNAME) on ?sr-001, and i would like to know how that is done, as in how to make user documents be in the N drive but other user documents are hidden. If anyone could tell me i'd really appreciate it.

Many Thanks.

Two phrases: net use and logon scripts.

As simple as that, have to make sure to use logon scripts to change it to the documents of whoever has logged on. Or the user will have access to other accounts work!

Code: Select all
NET USE X: \\***-sr-001\RMStudentWork\$USER\

I'd use
Code: Select all
net use N: \\cc3-dc01\RMStudentWork\$%USERNAME%
as a base, and expand it.

Or put
Code: Select all
SUBST N: "%userprofile%/My Documents"


into AUTOEXEC.BAT in the C:\ Drive...
this will be better because SUBST expires on log off...
