Mapping home directory for win98 client on win2K server
The problem you're having is that there is no username variable on Win9x
systems. You needed to just make the assignment
net use P: /home
Here's the "Things to Verify" list since this is one of the major annoyances
in Win9x networking...
(1) From user manager, go ahead and make sure that each user's home path is
of the form \\myserver\users\\%username%
(2) make certain the home drive letter is "P:"
(3) Make the home directory assignment in the script as:
net use p: /home
