Hi All

We are intergrating an existing suite of iMacs and a MacServe into our Windows network. As part of this I have created a shared drive on the MacServe, which will be used as storage, and I am trying to mount it at login for our windows users. I can mount it for local users and as a network user I can manually mount it but I dont really want users to have to do this everytime.

If anyone has any ideas/an Applescript lying around that would be great!

Cheers

Phill

I honestly don't know if this will work with SMB, but for at least some types of shares you can add them to the list of login items in the Users & Groups preference pane for the user and they'll be mounted at login.
