mapping user account for NT and w2k

[Tom Horan]

In NT you can only map to a sharename - \\server\share you cannot map to a
sub-directory - \\server\share\subdir.

You should be trying to share all the user account seperately so you can
just map \\server\username

Thanks,
Tom

Subject: mapping user account for NT and w2k



Hi 

I am running the 2.2a3 as a PDC on linux. 

I have machine login in fine, but have a little bit of weirdness someone
may be able to clear up.

I am mapping user home directories to a drive letter (S:) when a user
logs in.

\\severname\sharename\%U.


On a Win2k machine when I access S:\ is see the contents of the users
home directory (correct).

On a WinNT machine when I access S:\ i see a list of all the users home
directories ie: the %U value does not seem to get mapped under WinNT.


Has anyone come across this problem.

many thanks in advance
