Step by Step mapping network drive automatically from server 2008


 
If you are working with large network you have no need to map network share drive PC to PC, you can use group policy management in server 2008. By this mathed when users will log on his computer the network drive will map automatically. First of all create VBS Script for mapping drive to create this script read my earlier post.
Then go to server 2008 and open Group Policy Management 


Select users group where you want to map drive and right click create a new group policy, in this tutorial I have production group. Then edit Mapping Drive policy (renamed new group policy)
 



Then new window of group policy management editor will open select user configuration -> windows settings -> script (Logon/Logoff) and double click logon.

Then click on show files (1) paste your VBS script file in open folder and close it then click on add (2)
Click on browse in add a script then OK and apply


then remove all authenticated users form security filtering and add user group which need that mapping.




Now run cmd and type "gpupdate /force" command on server and users machine then restart user computer and when user log on all drive mapped automatically.

If you got any error contact me.

Thanks
