file sharing (W2K)

[stee_net]

Hi I need help !!!!

I have a computer that I have installed windows 2000pro on and wish to use it as a CD Rom server and file server by sharing the drives and them mapping them to all other workstations on the network. After a large amount of trouble I finally realised that the guest account was disables so I enabled it doing this allowed me to connect to the shared drives remotely by entering user name guest and the password but the problem I ham having is that when you log the work station off and on again the mapped drive which is set to reconnect at log on can not be connected. Please can someone help me and tell me how to achieve this if it is possible.

Thank You

Seems since NT 4.0 that windows has that problem.

You can use a bat file with this command

net use * /delete

to auto delete all shared connections at user logoff (which would clear the redirector buffer)

Use Group Policies/user configuration/Windows settings/scripts to execute the bat file.
