I am new to WinSrv2012r2 and all the GPO stuff.

Now my problem is, I am using a batchfile to create a drive mapping (s:)

Actually I dont want to put this into autostart because every user needs this to get mapped, also new created users...

Is it possible to add a GPO that the system automaticly creates the mapping for all users on logon? If yes, how can I do this?

I've been searching the net for two days now and can't find anything that helps me to solve my problem. Also I dont think I'm the first one trying this! :)

Yes it is possible to create a GPO that creates a map network drive on the user login there are multiple methods tho :

  1. Open group policy management console
  2. Create a new group policy object under the specified OU ( if it is a computer OU I suggest you add loopback processing mode to merged, if it is on the user OU which I prefer there is no need to make any modification ) and let's call it map network drive
  3. Now right click on that group policy which we just created and click edit and navigate to User configuration -> preference -> and expand windows settings
  4. Now select drive maps right click new -> mapped drive
  5. Now you can configure your mapped drive as you wish , you can create , replace , delete or update mapped drives depends on your needs and the user will login with a mapped drive you already set the path and letter to For further info on configuring mapped drives please visit Creating map network drives via gpo

Now the second option you have which is exhausting and I do not recommend is :

  1. Navigate to your active directory
  2. Go to selected users OU
  3. Right click properties on the users you wish to add map network drives to ( individually I recommend )
  4. Navigate to profile tab
  5. Under the home folder you can assign the home path to the mapped network drive for each user with letters
