Desktop login and SMB/CIFS mountpoints made easy

Having lots of users with kind of “magic hands” got us to think what they did not need to think about, so they could do more of their research.

Since we got everyone on AD using Quest (see previous post) we where able to launch the following script each time they log on their Desktops, making a nice direct access to all the resource from their groups and from their research.

Also, we used the library.
