Hi,

We are in the process of upgrading from 98 to xp pro. We have also
just went from nt to win2k. My question is that I want to set up a batch job
that will backup each xp pro machine's my documents when a user logs off or
shutdown the computer. Is there a tutorial on how to do this? I am just
starting out on win2k so I apologize for being naive in this area. Also can
we setup mapped drives and printers so we can standardize everything within
our LAN? Thanks in advance. Any suggestions on books would be a plus as
well.

You want to put your user's home folders on a server and
point to them at login. Do this with a group policy that
will redirect their "My Documents" folder to the share on
the server. Assuming that you have a good backup
strategy on your server(s), your user's data will be
backed up with the rest of the server stuff. Programs
like MSOFfice will automatically point to this network
share for file storage.
