I need a login script that maps drives based on Workstation OS ... or maybe a software that can do this...

Reason:
Customer has Windows 2003 Domain with Windows 98, 2000, XP.
Windows 98 Machines need mapped drive to share (SYS Share)
Windows 2000/XP machines need mapped drives beyond share (SYS\Apps)
Users Roam between machines, so i need to make mapped drives at login depending on the machine OS.
I cant make it happen with GPO or AD users/computers
Reason this matters, each machine has programs running from Mapped Drives and those mapped drives have to be the same no matter what user is sitting there.
This all worked fine with Novell Login Scripts before the migration to Windows 2003.

Any suggestions? :confused:

I realize that this forum helps lots of people in lots of different ways, but it seems to be that your questions are perhaps a bit too far off-topic for the PowWeb forum.

There are many Windows-related help forums out there, you should try one or more of those.

ToI2n, I have a question first that I need answered before I tell you exactly what to do. The new win 2k3 server is it serving up a domain, with active directory, and user profiles(roaming, not roaming)? The question I'm asking is because if you have users logging onto the domain, active directory has a spot for login scripts to run so that you don't have to do this by machine. If it is by machine that is also no problem.

Just give me a response back.

reason i have to do this by machine, because each machine has apps installed thru mapped drives, the mapped drives were mapped by Novell Client prior to W2k3 Server, so each machine needs the login script to be the same for all Win98 machines and then a different script for all the 2000/XP machines. When the users roam between machines and OS's, the mapped drives need to be the same on each machine for the 98's and the same for all the 2000/xp's.

XP user goes to 98 machine, his login script cant follow, Xp login scripts maps beyond the share and Windows 98 machines only map to a share.

example:
F:\sys for win 98

f:\sys\public for 2000/xp

so i need a windows login script to mirror Novell Client login scripts
