Using Group Policy Preferences to Map Drives Based on Group Membership | |
|

AskDS Blog: A common request we hear is how to automatically connect specific network shares to drive letters based on group membership. Mapping network drives based on group membership requires some programming knowledge-- either VBScript or command shell (batch files). VBScript based logon scripts can require hundreds of lines of code to provided a complete solution. And batch files require the assistance of helper applications such as IFMEMBER.EXE and NET.EXE, and introduce many challenges with controlling how Windows processes the script. But Group Policy Preferences removes the programming requirement and awkwardness of scripting mapped drives based on group membership. There are many scenarios in which you may want to map a local drive letter to a specific network share to include public drive mappings, inclusive group drive mappings, and exclusive group drive mappings. | ||
