Decided to bite the bullet and have successfully implemented the mapping =
of their personal share in Kix (which I have never used before) and it =
works in Windows 98, NT Workstation, W2K and WXP. =20
I did look at whoami but that returned "domain/username" which was of no =
use.
Thanks for your input Glenn...

Ignore the question about client extensions!! M$ technet clearly states =
=3D
that GPO support is not provided with the extension.

Would the "Active Directory Client Extensions for 98" not make GPO's =3D
work on a WIN98 Client?
If so, is there any disadvantages (or advantages) to installing it?
Can you pull out registry values in a batch file?
Thanks for your help on this...

Unfortunately, GPOs do not work with Win98 clients, only Win2k/XP =3D
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,

I am setting up AD and want every user to map a drive letter to their =
=3D
=3D3D
personal share (eg. map p to \\server\steve). =3D3D20
What is the best way to achieve this...
I know that %USERNAME% in batch files doesn't work on Windows 98 =3D3D
machines that I have a lot of, so this is not an option (but is there a =
=3D
=3D3D
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 =3D3D
stores the computer policy on the drive mapping rather than the local pc =
=3D
=3D3D
(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 =
=3D
=3D3D
much about AD yet.
Thanks for any help,
Steve
