I am running Windows 2000 Server SP4. I want to have all
the users logon using the Logon Script. I have it set up
to access their home directory 'H' and access the 'DATA'
drive. The bat file contains the following:

NET USE H: /HOME
NET USE L: \\SERVERNAME\DATA

When I use this bat file as my logon script, I only get
the Home directory connected. The Data directory doesn't
connect. I've tried doing the command in DOS, as well as
from the run line and no success. I get the error
message 'The network name cannot be found'.

What must I do so this works??

Thank YOU,

by using this I realized that the 'D' Drive was
labeled 'Data$', which is the name of the folder that
resides on it. When I shared it out as 'D$' the problem
went away.

Thank Again,
