Right in my new job as domain admin, i’m trying to figure out how to redirect a user my documents to a share on a NAS we have just bought (so as to help shorten roaming profiles logon times).
THe problem i have come across is the fact that the NAS doesn’t support file level permissions but is allowed onto the domain and can use the domain user accounts for permissions on the shares. As using the group policicy to redirect the folder wont work due to the permissions problem, Is it possible to create a mapped drive to the share then re point mydocs location via a logon script?
From what i have read both web and books, mapped drives are now a big nono and should be left to rot with nt4. Think the domain maybe a little screwed up from the previous sysadmins, so i am currently using some vmware machines to help me through the AD myre. nothing like a challenge
all sorted now with a nice login script
Now to just document what i have done and then start to set up the real thing
Gone and got me a nice Microsoft press book on vbscript as well.
you of course, I could just give you the guts of what we use. well once i’d stripped it down, which I need to do anyways as it was written when I was learning and it’s not the most clean of scripts
