Map Network Drives With Group Policy
Copied from HERE !!!
Logon Scripts VS Group Policy
The ability to map a network drive with Group Policy was introduced in Server 2008. Logon scripts are a thing of the past. Logon scripts can actually slow computers down. Yes, group policy is faster. Unless you have some crazy complex script that does something that Group Policy cannot do then there is no reason not to use it.
Mapping Drives with Group Policy has the following advantages:
- It’s much easier than logon scripts. Checkboxes and drop down lists, no need to understand scripting
- It’s scalable. GPO mapped drives can handle very large Active Directory environments.
- It’s very flexible. With item level targeting you can target groups, users, OUs, operating systems, and so on.
- It’s easy
Now let’s move on to some examples of mapping drives with group policy.
