Jerry,
Kixtart, as I am learning, is an outstanding scripting tool for logon use and beyond. This message board is full of very helpful people who will answer any of your questions. I've really appreciated there help.
Here's what I'm doing in a similar environment to yours.
BATCH FILE METHOD
1. For each USER set their "logon script" text to logon.bat (or whatever batch file name you give it)
2. On your Domain Controller copy the latest kix32.exe to your NETLOGON share (SYSVOL\domain\scripts) and create your first Kixtart script. You can name it script.kix or whatever you want. (if you need basic info on what this entails let me know)
3. Add this line in your batch file Code:
CALL %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\kix32.exe %LOGONSERVER%\NETLOGON\script.kix /f
4. Now you can edit your script.kix file to map drives. Use the following example as a guideline.
Code:
if ingroup ("Domain Admins") ; Where "Domain Admins" is a global group in AD
use G: /d
use G: "\\%servername%\%hiddensharename%$"
use H: /d
use H: @HOMESHR + \ + @USERID ; connect to user's home share
endif
LES presented you with a method of calling the kix32.exe script which bypasses the need of legacy batch files. I'm going to move all my legacy batch files in my system to this new method, but for starters, the batch files work just fine.
Also, DIVE into the Kix User's Guide. It has examples for all the kix commands I've mentioned and more.
