[Samba] Can't get 'root preexec' to run

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Group policies + VBscript can do this for you. 

And more ease, use the variables of windows to get the info you need. 
Open an box : cmd  , type set. 
See HOMEDRIVE  HOMESHARE .. etc. 

Use a VBScript to do the magic. 
Make a Computer policy to run the VBscript which gives needed rights etc. 

I do something simaler but i use that for import/deleting certificates. 

See the certificates examples:

and
