Automating Drive Mapping Login

[Andrew Kaplan]

Hi there --
Our HP-UX 11.00 server has a samba share to which several of our Windows 2000 workstations have drive mappings. Currently, when users log into the network, they are prompted for the password that allows the share to be mounted on their Windows workstations. Is there a way to automate the process whereby the users are not prompted for the password when they first log onto the network?

You can integrate Samba/system login with a Windows Primary Domain Controller.
