I am currently running windows XP Pro on my domain computers and in the process of migrating to Windows 7.
I have a schedule task that runs a VB script at login that assigns a partition to the current user.
Here is a breakdown of the setup,
-80 GB hard drive
-30 GB system partition
-10 GB partition (DMW Drive)
-10 GB partition (DTH Drive)
-10 GB partition (NMW Drive)
-10 GB partition (NTH Drive)
The script assigns the correct drive according to the time of the login. We use this to have a storage place for users to have full access to save their data.
This runs perfectly on XP but does not run on Windows 7.
Here is the script.
set wshshell = wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
iReturn = WshShell.Run("Diskpart.exe /s removeall.txt", 1, True)
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_LocalTime", , 48)
For Each objItem In colItems
DayOfWeek = objItem.DayOfWeek
HourOfDay = objItem.Hour
Next
If DayOfWeek = 1 Or DayOfWeek = 3 Then
If HourOfDay >= 6 And HourOfDay <= 13 Then
iReturn = WshShell.Run("Diskpart.exe /s Aset.txt", 1, True)
End If
If HourOfDay >= 15 And HourOfDay <= 22 Then
iReturn = WshShell.Run("Diskpart.exe /s Cset.txt", 1, True)
End If
End If
If DayOfWeek = 2 Or DayOfWeek = 4 Then
If HourOfDay >= 6 And HourOfDay <= 13 Then
iReturn = WshShell.Run("Diskpart.exe /s Bset.txt", 1, True)
End If
If HourOfDay >= 15 And HourOfDay <= 22 Then
iReturn = WshShell.Run("Diskpart.exe /s Dset.txt", 1, True)
End If
End If
Here are the text files that the script calls on.
ASet.txt = select volume 2
assign
BSet.txt = select volume 3
assign
CSet.txt = select volume 4
assign
DSet.txt = select volume 5
assign
Removeall.txt =
select volume 2
remove noerr
select volume 3
remove noerr
select volume 4
remove noerr
select volume 5
remove noerr
Any input will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Since diskpart requires elevation, you need to configure the scheduled task to run elevated ("Run with highest privileges" on the General tab of task properties).
