Hi All,

I am trying to get the Home directory option to work in my test network. I have set up a NT 4.0 server 6a and a W98 client. I have created a user Bob on the network and shared out a directory data. I have set the Home directory for bob to f: \\servername\data. When I logon locally on the NT server the mapping works fine. When I logon as bob form the 98 box I do not get the mapping. Should this work for 98 clients?

Since this was not working I tried setting up a login script. It seems the login script executes on the 98 machine so I don't have access to %username% variable. I was trying to write a script "if %username%==bob net use f: \\servername\data" This works fine on the NT box but I get an error message on the 98 box at login.

Any help

Thanks Bob

what are you using for login script, with vbs and kix you can have it check the os version and then run a 98 or nt login script

Hi All,

I found my problem. MS-KB article Q137979 has the answer. Win9x client need login scripts to work with the Homedirectory setting in User Manager for domains.
