| | log off or lock workstation then unmap drive I have one account that logs into the workstation and than the user maps a drive to a shar using their own user id and password. The problem is that since more than one user uses the computer with the same account and if the first user never unmaps the drive the 2nd user will keep the drive mapping as the 1st user. I would like a script to monitor if the user log off the computer or locked it than unmap drive to force the next user to map the drive with their user id and password. |

Also, what if a second user logs into the computer before the first logs out? -- Richard Mueller MVP Directory Services Hilltop Lab - http://www.rlmueller.net -- |

In this case, it appears that all of the users are using the same local account to logon, so if someone tried to logon while it was locked, he would simply be unlocking it and accessing the previous user's session. /Al |
