Backups

Machines are fresh installed to same state and are not backed up. The NAS offers recovery in event of a loss of disk but we presently do not do a remote backup of user files.

Mapping drives

Copy setupDrives.vbs to C:\ from \\hub\AHASoftware

In Windows startup Local Group Policy Editor as Admin Under UserConfiguration\Windows Settings\Scripts (Logon/Logoff) add the script as a login script.

This login script maps drives for Software, Home and Share. It redirects the users desktop and my documents folder to their home folder within the NAS. The redirection of desktop/documents is disabled for the admin account.
