    Default How to map user drives with latest Win7 GPMC

    Hello, I have the latest Win7 GPMC and 2 W2k3 domain controllers. I cannot find a good way of mapping user drives via a GPO. I have Jeremy's latest book, which does not readily offer a good solution for mapping user drives. Can someone get me started in the right direction? I presently use scripts, but I'd like to use a GPO instead.
    Thanks.

    You will need to edit the GPO from one of your Win7 machines. Under User Config - Prefernces - Windows Settings, there will be a Drive Maps section. Works very well and can be extremely flexible if need it to be.

    Default Great, but how to use %username% variable

    Great, thanks. Now if I want to map, say, each of my individual users' drives to their respective user folders on the D: drive, how would I do that? Would it be something like this?

    Action: Create
    Source file: \\D:\User_folders\%username%

    And then, how would leverage Group Policy to put a link on the desktop?

    Thanks again.
