using Group Policy to hide and map specified drives

Map network drives :
Open Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) and create a new policy. Browse to User Configuration – Preferences – Windows Settings – Drive Maps
Map Network Drive Group Policy 01 270x300 Using Group Policy to hide and map specified drives
Map Network Drive Group Policy 02 270x300 Using Group Policy to hide and map specified drives
Map Network Drive Group Policy 03 300x233 Using Group Policy to hide and map specified drives
In this example we map K: to the Accounting folder for all users member of the Accounting group. It’s possible to create many rules, if member of group A or B or and so on.
Hide Drives :
Hide Drive Group Policy 02 270x300 Using Group Policy to hide and map specified drives
Hide Drive Group Policy 03 300x233 Using Group Policy to hide and map specified drives
In this example we hide C: for all users except for Domain Admins. When you start playing around we GPP you’ll learn how really powerful it is.

Have a nice day!
