Hi there

I have a 2008 server running mainly for remote logins via terminal
services. I have set up this server in workgroup mode with no AD.

I have some shares that I want a certain group to have auto mounted
when they login via TS. is this possible?

Also, I want to hide a hard drive, say Z:, from certain users/groups.
I have already denied them access to that drive, but now i want it to be
not visible in my computer when they log in. is that possible as well?

Thanks a lot.
Munky

To auto-mount a share, use a logon script of the form
net use /persistent:no
net use S: \\YourServer\Sales

To hide drives in Explorer, create this dWord value:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoDrives
To hide drive A, set NoDrives to $1 (hex 1).
To hide drive D, set NoDrives to $8 (hex 8).
To hide drive Z, set NoDrives to $2000000.
The change will become effective at the next logon time. To access drive Z:
even while it is hidden, type "Z:\" in the address bar in Explorer or in "My
Computer".
