How to best map on premise file shares using azure managed (intune/mem) windows desktops.

I guess you can deploy a script (machine based) to configure a scheduled task with a trigger "on user logon" for example. Or a script (user based) with net use .... /PERSISTENT key.
- WebhallaApr 05, 2022Brass ContributorThanks Alex for your effort. So when centralising our device management using azure cloud (intune/mem) we have to decentralise our user on premise file share mapping and deploy a real hassle of unmanageable multiple scripts on devices for notebook users traveling between several locations/countries and multiple users using the same desktop with different security and double or triple mapped server shares? For example the h:\ drive mapping largely depends on the current user logged on. This is now dynamically and centrally solved using the dinosaurus-automation kixtart scripting on the netlogon shares on the local domain controllers, a technology that is crippled bij intune/mem. Of course a lot of user and departmental mappings will migrate to the cloud as a sharepoint/OneDrive resource but our legacy erp/bi/logistical/sales software will continue to run on premise, interfacing with file shares for data import, export and reporting, based on acl authorisation. A real oversight with the office cloud user based mem/intune solutions. The theme of these presentations are hybrid use and here Microsoft is lacking.
