Map Network Drive via GPO

Hofmann — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 07:52:19 +0000

I am trying to map a network drive on all clients via GPO. This batch-file is used:

[strong]net use s: /delete /yes
net use s: \\192.168.12.12S21 [/strong]

This network drive needs another login as windows needs. There is no possibility to connect this server to the Active Directory. Additionly, it is not possible to use same logins on both servers. The user have to type in the login into dos-box at every startup.That’s not a problem for us.

The problem is that the dos box does not appear at startup because the batch-file is running via GPO. Such files are usually running in the background and the user has no chance to notice or even to type in the login details.

An easy workaround would be to distribute this batch-file to autostart menu, but that’s quite uncomfortable.

I can imagine one of those soulutions

- starting the Windows GUI for Map Drive instead of DOS Box

or

- making the dos box visible for just this batch file

Have anyone an idea?

Start Menu content

AndreaF — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 18:24:40 +0000

I need to prevent The Disk Cleanup Tool from displaying in the Start menu for one specific identity on our network, but this identity has no access to the Control Panel – so I am unsure of the best way to remove/prevent this from appearing in Start menus. I’m thinking that a registry fix would apply to Current User….but that profile is locked out of the registry. I am trying to determine the least complicated way to get this tool out of sight (out of mind…. Any thoughts welcome!
