How can I create a network drive in Windows Server 2003?
I tired going through tools-map drive but no folder appears to let me create it.
How can I create a drive so that all users can see it and put files into it?
 

On the server create a folder that you want to use, for example C:\Folder1
Right-click Folder1 and select the sharing and security option from the context menu ..
Here you can select users and set the appropriate permissions for them ..

As far as users are concerned they can then map the drive from their machines as \\2003server\Folder1 and it will show up as a shared drive in their OS ..

BTW. 2003server is the name of your server and it's real neme you will find in System Properties->Network Identification-> ..
