Server 2008 how auto mount shares in workgroup mode

[Guest assassinmunky]

Hi there

 

I have a 2008 server running mainly for remote logins via terminal

services. I have set up this server in workgroup mode with no AD.

 

I have some shares that I want a certain group to have auto mounted

when they login via TS. is this possible?

 

Also, I want to hide a hard drive, say Z:, from certain users/groups.

I have already denied them access to that drive, but now i want it to be

not visible in my computer when they log in. is that possible as well?

 

Thanks a lot.

Munky

To auto-mount a share, use a logon script of the form

net use /persistent:no

net use S: \\YourServer\Sales

 

To hide drives in Explorer, create this dWord value:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDrives

To hide drive A, set NoDrives to $1 (hex 1).

To hide drive D, set NoDrives to $8 (hex 8).

To hide drive Z, set NoDrives to $2000000.

The change will become effective at the next logon time. To access drive Z:

even while it is hidden, type "Z:\" in the address bar in Explorer or in "My

Computer".
