Script to automatically map samba shares as network drive
Hopefully someone will be kind enough to help me. I have a fileserver acting as a PDC and providing samba shares to a small network. Authentication to the PDC is via LDAP (setup using ebox) The users all have real local accounts on the server.

I would like a windows logon script that will:
1. automatically mount the samba shares as mapped networked drives, ie:
/media/share1 to P:
/media/share2 to Q:
2. map the "My Documents" folder to the users /home share which I think is automatically mounted as H:

Ideally I would like to map the shares that are specifically available to different groups but this is not essential, ie share1 to group A and share 2 to group A & B.

Thanks in advance.
