Logon Script

[ezat]

I have installed a Microsoft Windows 2003 server on a system and this server is configured as a domain controller with configured Active Directory. When users logon to my domain, I want them automatically to be mapped to a shared drive on the server in this case the same domain controller so what ever work they do when they save their work, I want the work be saved on their home folder on the shared network drive. I also want them to not be able to save any data on the local drive C:\. Is it doable? Do I have to have a logon script? If yes what the logon script is and where in the server can I apply it? Thank you for all your help. I want to ease for backup and recovery of data losses.

In ADUC, the users properties..you can set their "home folder"...and either manually reset their "My Documents" to that mapped drive or UNC path, or set it through policies (folder redirection)

That takes care of My Documents.

You can take it a step further and do roaming profiles...saves much of their stuff in the their Docs and Setting directory...

Also what needs to be looked at, is "what program" are they using? And where, by default, does it keep most of their data.
