Tips and Tricks
*On PCs with less than 512mb RAM, set Windows XP to the Classic theme. This will save about 30Mb RAM and help avoid hitting the swap file, which will speed things up nicely.
*If a login script instead of a Group Policy is used to map network drives, remote users will often not have their network drives mapped upon login. No server connectivity, no login script. Create a batch file for them and place it on their desktop. After connecting via VPN, they can run the batch file and have access to their drives.
*If your company has several departments where different groups have, say, a different S: drive, make a list of what the S: drive should be for each department. Keep this list handy so you can refer to it when someone can’t connect to their S: drive. This will save you from having to hunt down that information every time.
