[THIN] Re: redirect my documents

He said "organizational unit's members" - ifmember is not going to help
with that - unless it just happens that there is a group that also
happens to encapsulate all the OUs members.
 
As I said in another reply, it is possible to establish OU membership
using ADSI scripting - but it's not exactly the most obvious thing.
 
But ideally, this is the way it should go... going back in time to the
NT domain structure - all this "magic", all this information was largely
within login scripts - big long lists of groups, and resources that
should be mapped depending on these group memberships.
 
But with AD, AD is your repository, AD should be your directory store,
AD should be the area where this "magic" is stored - and the login
script should be unspecific and merely query the information that's in
AD. So within AD structures, you could organise your printer resources
(print shares) and the appropriate file share resources, and the login
script merely establish the users position within AD, interrogate what
resources are appropriate for this users location, and map them
accordingly - that, ultimately, is the purpose of directories - they
become your repository for this information.

        Go get ifmember from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/new/ifmember-
o.asp.  Create a group in the OU and then create a batch file that maps
the drive if they are a member of that group.
         
        ifmember "nameofgroup"
            if errorlevel 1 
                net use t: \\servername\storage\accounting-unit

                Hi,
                I want to create a UNC share for an organizational
unit's members and make it available only to the members of the unit as
a fixed drive.  For example, T: mapped to
\\servername\storage\accounting-unit
                 
                Can someone describe the steps to achieve this?  Would I
have to publish the mapped drive for them to be able to access it?
                 
                Thanks,
