Unfortunately, GPOs do not work with Win98 clients, only Win2k/XP clients.
Kix will do it, as you say.
I believe that there is a "WhoAmI" utility that works on Win98, but no
guarantee.
You may have an easier time pulling it from the registry. It is at the
following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon\username.
Good luck,

Subject: [windows2000] Returning username in Windows 98...
I am setting up AD and want every user to map a drive letter to their =
personal share (eg. map p to \\server\steve). =20
What is the best way to achieve this...
I know that %USERNAME% in batch files doesn't work on Windows 98 =
machines that I have a lot of, so this is not an option (but is there a =
way around this?).
I don't want a batch file for each user with the mapping hard-coded.
I don't really want to use KIX, but I know that this will do it.
I don't want to use the home drive in the user account, as it then =
stores the computer policy on the drive mapping rather than the local pc =
(is there a way around this?)
Ideally, Can I use AD or GPO's in any way to do this..I don't know too =
much about AD yet.
Thanks for any help,
Steve
