Guest kbgrunt Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Just switched from Novell to Windows Server 2003 R2. Individual remote users (XP PRO SP2) use Microsofts PPTP VPN to access a SnapGear router/vpn/firewall. Once connected users can access Unix servers as if local, and used to run Novell login. Novell login script would map drives for user. How does a remote user access Windows server resources, drive mappings? PCs are set to boot up to Windows login for domain. Thanks.

Once you have set up a VPN connection, remote machines behave in exactly the same way as if they had a slow local connection.
Guest kbgrunt Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Re: client PPTP VPN access to Windows 2003 R2 Pegasus, I never see drive mappings to access files off the server; if i try to map drive thru Windows Explorer I get several different error messages. Is there a command to execute, or anything that would give me the drive mappings or worst case, allow me to set a batch file to map drives? Thanks.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Re: client PPTP VPN access to Windows 2003 R2 Standard stuff. To see current drive mappings: net use To map a new drive: net use S: \\Servername\Sharename To check the connection: ping Servername "kbgrunt" <kbgrunt@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:059B5B5A-0CD9-4D3C-B9F1-F55267A58094@microsoft.com... > Pegasus, I never see drive mappings to access files off the server; if i > try > to map drive thru Windows Explorer I get several different error messages. > Is there a command to execute, or anything that would give me the drive > mappings or worst case, allow me to set a batch file to map drives? > Thanks. > > "Pegasus (MVP)" wrote: > >> >> "kbgrunt" <kbgrunt@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message >> news:ABD96895-DB02-4BB4-A735-9C259D7F997F@microsoft.com... >> > Just switched from Novell to Windows Server 2003 R2.
