Deploy Library via GPO - for individual user shares

Proposed Deploy Library via GPO - for individual user shares

    I found a good technet article for deploying Libraries of network shares via GPO:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/create-custom-libraries-in-windows-7-and-deploy-them-through-group-policy.aspx

    Could anyone help my figure out how I could also deploy this mapping individual users shares that were created in AD %username%?

    Not sure if this is possible. 

    So a library deployed would have locations:

    \\server\data

    \\server\users\%username

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    Regarding your request, do you mean you want to user Group Policy to map network drive and then rename it based on different users? If so, I suggest we could try to refer to the following articles to see if it could help.

    If you have some trouble modifying the script, we’d better ask in the script forum. We will get a better assistance there.

    Thanks for the effort in your response but you did not come close to my question. The drives are already mapped. I want to use GPO to add two drives to each users Windows 7 Library. 

    They already have mapped drives - Data & User  - each user drive is only accessible to the individual AD user account. 

    It looks simple to add the library for a shared mapped drive but not so clear if you want to add another indexing location that is based on an AD user account - these individual shares were created in AD with the creation of a user account via %username%

    Do you understand my question now?
