Guest dudum Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 HY, 1st, we have about 8 pc's in company, most of them on win xp home. Some of them have to map disk on server every day. How can we make them maped all the time. 2nd, our server is supposed to copy disk c: to disk which I cant see, so in case of trouble we just change disk's . If it does do I have to see the second disk or not, until change? Hope you understand my Q... M M-N
Guest Chris Dent [MVP] Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: 2 Q's Hey, 1. Make the mapping persistent. e.g.: net use t: \\server\share /persistent:yes You may need to include the username and password there if they differ between the workstation and server. 2. It rather depends on what you mean. If you're using a mirrored pair you won't see the second disk, it works beneath that level. If you're literally copying files it simply won't work as a C: drive should you try. -- Chris Dent MVP Directory Services "dudum" <dudum@vip.hr> wrote in message news:g35qm5$ia2$1@ss408.t-com.hr... > HY, > > 1st, we have about 8 pc's in company, most of them on win xp home.

Guest Chris Dent [MVP] Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Re: 2 Q's 1. Entirely up to you, you can copy and paste it into the run box if you wish. The key is the /persistent:yes, it makes the profile (users profile) remember the connection. As it's Home edition you wouldn't be able to force it out as a logon script, but that shouldn't stop you placing it in a batch (.bat) file if that makes life easier. 2. Excellent. Any change between the disks should be transparrent. Any data written to the first will be written to the second. In essence though, you won't ever "see" the second disk as a drive in Windows. To all intents and purposes it's C: as well. Of course, if either disk fails you will need to replace it or you lose the redundancy. -- Chris Dent MVP Directory Services "dudum" <dudum@vip.hr> wrote in message news:g3615d$62i$1@ss408.t-com.hr... > > "Chris Dent [MVP]" <chris@highorbit.co.uk> wrote in message > news:O%231wur7zIHA.4040@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> Hey, >> >> 1.
