Login scripts in SBS 2011

  • 772

Where can I add and configure a login script for each user in SBS 2011?

For example, I to map a drive for a user-specific folder. I do not want to use folder redirection.

    That's massively unsustainable. Ideally, you should use folder redirection. Why aren't you?

    If you must use a script, You should craft a single script that uses variables and a sane folder structure on the share. For example, if the folder layout is \\server\share\userFolder you could get it done in a one-line logon script that reads:

    net use z: \\server\share\%username%

    You would link this in group policy under User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts

    Make sure that wherever you store the script, all users have access to it via share and NTFS ACLs.

    If you really must do this, you can define a logon script in ADUC for each user here:

  2. As you are using SBS 2011 therefore it has to new Group Policy feature Group Policy Preferences, which I have used just last week to do exactly this.

    I had heard about GP Preferences and used this tutorial to carry it out
