I’m not lazy… really I’m not… but I’m always looking for ways to make my job easier. One of the things that I don’t like spending time on is tinkering with scripts, especially login scripts.
I ran across this script that uses ifmember.exe (available here) to help map drives for any given user based on their group membership. Basically, you add a user to a security group, and when this script runs, the share associated with that security group is automatically mapped to a drive letter for the user.
You can read details about the script here. The author, Simon Butler, did a fine job on the article and there’s no sense in me retyping it on my site.
