I don't wish to start an argument over this but in the interests of clarity
(and for the benefit of anyone using the list archive as a knowledgebase)
I'd just like to point out that I'm currently using subst on my NT4TSE farm
login scripts and it is definitely user-specific. We map a drive letter (H:)
to \\server\rootshare and use subst to map another drive letter (W:) to
H:\%username%

Platform means everything, and this is "windows2000". For Win2k you are
right, for NT4 I'm right. The subst command is dfferent between OSs. Yes,
under Win2k and TS, it is no longer machine specific. Under NT4, it
persisted for all users. Under NT4, you could use subst on a UNC, but can't
under Win2k.
"NT4 doesn't let you map a drive letter to a share's subdirectory (Win2k
does), but here's a workaround: Use the SUBST command, which lets you use
Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) paths (Win2k doesn't allow this) and
environment variables in the command line. Add SUBST h:
\\logonserver\users\%username% to your log-on script. This tells NT to map
the H: drive to the directory under the user's share that matches the name
of the user logging on."
I used to use such a logon.cmd in NT4, but it has to have a subst h: /d
before it because it did persist between users.
