Are you wanting the clients to map to a share on the server...or...are you wanting the share out each client computer hard drive? The first would make sense. The second doesn't make sense. [ 18. April 2003, 21:49: Message edited by: Howard Bullock ]

So, you're finally providing some information that actually makes sense. Still, do you run your network in 'Domain' mode or 'Workgroup' mode? How are the user acounts set up? Do the users have administrative rights, either local or global? Is there a login script?
BTW, it really does not concern me where the OS comes from. However, if somebody provides this laundry list of OSes, and wants to set up a network whithout even knowing what he's doing, then yes, it is a valid statement.
So, 'Blitzkrieg', let's do some 'Shock and Awe'. Please read up on the capabilities of Windows 9x with regards to remote administration and Windows XP Home with regards to network connectivity. Then read up on network authentication. Shock: Barely any remote admin for Windows 9x, no domain support for Windows XP Home. Awe: Not really scriptable from the server-side at all, doable with client or login script but will require extensive network reconfiguration.
So, if that's not enough, please provide more details. [ 18. April 2003, 21:53: Message edited by: sealeopard ]

so what you want is a server side script that as soon as any OS plugs into your LAN (if you know what that is) it will automatically mount it's local drive on to the server.
With no central authentication model, no domain model, and no knowledgeable 'admin' person to do the work, you are asking for magic.
With the attitude you are showing, you aren't likely to get any help...
beyond the fact that what you want to do makes no sense. for the simple fact that in a network environment, eventually the server will run out of drive letters to mount the client drives to.
My suggestion is for you to start reading books on networking... and manners

Blitzkrieg,
quote:
you would know that I don’t know what I am going to do as far as configuration goes and I don’t have a current configuration
What does this mean?
Is this like trying to drive a car that does not exist? Come on, if you try to create a script that you have nothing to test it on... How do you know if it is even right? Or, the right direction?
There is my two cents/schillings/lira/etc.
