A "logon.bat" script in /etc/samba/logon will set up the home directories for the Win users.

Under "Network logon options" select "log on and restore network connections" and it should work for you. > > -- > > -John (JohnThompson@xxxxxxxxxx) Thanks I will try and see what I can do, I am rather new finding my learning curve 90 degree up.
