Hello

You can use Group Policy to map network drives for logon users from a trusted domain. Here are the steps to do this:

1.Open Group Policy Management:

Open the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) on your domain controller.

2.Create a New GPO:

Right-click on the Organizational Unit (OU) where the users are located, and select "Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it here...". Give the GPO a name, such as "Map Network Drive for Trusted Domain."

3.Edit the GPO:

Right-click on the newly created GPO and select "Edit."

4.Navigate to Drive Mapping Settings:

Go to User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Drive Maps.

5.Create a New Mapped Drive:

Right-click on "Drive Maps," select "New," and then choose "Mapped Drive."

6.Configure Drive Properties:

In the "General" tab, specify the path to the network drive you want to map. Choose the drive letter and label as needed.

7.Set Item-Level Targeting:

In the "Common" tab, check "Item-level targeting" and click "Targeting." Here, you can specify the conditions under which the drive should be mapped, such as targeting specific user groups or users from the trusted domain.

8.Apply and Test:

Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save the settings. Run gpupdate /force on the client machines to apply the policy immediately. Test the configuration by logging in as a user from the trusted domain to ensure the network drive is mapped correctly.
