Mount Openfiler NAS CIFS shares on windows clients using script in a domain. How to?
Hello all,
There is an educational institute where recently I removed a windows 2003 server acting as a file server and put Openfiler NAS instead. It integrated into windows domain and the authentication works as well according to windows active directory groups.
But earlier, I used to map the drive for users using a vbs script I found on the net. It used to automatically map the drive for the user anywhere he/she logged in.
But this script does not seem to work for Openfiler NAS shares. These shares names or subfolders are separated using a "." instead of "\" on windows. And this seems to an issue.
I am attaching the script for anyone who wants to see and help.
Any help or direction for help would be appreciated.
Edit:
This is how the share is mapped in windows if you need:
data.users.userdata.sharename.
Where data is the volume name and users is a folder inside the volume. userdata is another sub-folder in users and sharename is actual share that is shared. There are several shares that are identical to the user login names. And I want to map the share that is identical to the login name user is using to logon to the domain.
