I've been googling around on this but the Logon script still doesn't work o_O

Basicly, all i want is the computer to map the network drives when i logon.

The difference is that i'm using a username and password with this since my server is Ubuntu (Linux).

So its pretty simple, not sure whats going on with my script, but if someone could write up a small script, i think i could handle things from here.

Basicly i have:

net use H: \\mercury\tony

But i tried using the /USER thing and password and it don't work :-\, the script executes when i logon, but when i check My Computer there isn't any network drives.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Try right clicking on "my network places", select map drive, select use alternative credentials, fill them in, click ok twice, and you should be good to go.
 
Pardon my ignorance, but i don't see 'Map drive' ?

BEfore i tried the Logon script, i used to hit Tools and Map Network Drive, then use a alternate Username and Password, but when i log out and come back, it doesn't reconnect and says theres a problem with the drives. I double click the Drive and it asks for a Username and Password so i put it in and all the drives work. I want to avoid this! Thats why i tried the Logon script! :\
 
net use H: \\mercury\tony [password] /user:[domain name\username] /savecred


fill in info,delete brackets, copy and paste. should wrk.

Tried all of them, still ain't working. I've replaced the "[password]" with my password which i've edited out. I'm probably doing something obviously wrong.
 
How about this?...

Code:
net use H: \\servername\folder /user:x\username password
net use /persistent:yes
