Having an ISO file, how do you create a virtual CD drive?

https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/mount-an-iso-image-in-windows-vista/

How to Mount an ISO image in Windows 7, 8, and 10

Windows 8/10 - right-click the iso file, select 'mount'.

Windows 7 or before, download and install 'WinCDEmu'.
You can double click the iso file to mount it. Or you can right-click the iso file, and select 'select drive letter and mount'.

============================

Virtually mount and access ISO files as a virtual device.
If you don’t have a CD/DVD burner installed on your machine or you don’t have media available to you (a blank CD-R/DVD-R), you can “mount” the ISO file as a virtual drive. With this method, your machine will believe that the file is a real disk drive, and you will be able to read files from this “virtual disk.” This approach is advisable only for installation of applications (such as Office) or minor system upgrades. You will not be able to install an Operating System using this approach, because the virtual drive would disappear at some point during the installation.
There are several software options for the virtual drive approach. Though they have not been tested and are not supported by the VLSC team, customers report that Daemon Tools and Pismo File Mount offer such capability as well as Microsoft Virtual CD Control Tool.

Sherman: Daemon Tools works well.

Automatically Map Network Drives on Domain Login for All Users, Certain Users, or Certain Groups

Automatically Map Network Drives on Domain Login for All Users, Certain Users, or Certain Groups

As always, use the following instructions at your own risk (and joy). Please submit any corrections or comments if you feel so moved.
Auto map network drives on login for all users

1. Save the following batch file to the domain controller's NETLOGON share as logon.bat:
   @echo off
   net use * /delete /yes
   net use x: \\server_name\shared_directory_name
2. Active Directory Users and Computers
3. Right click domain name at top left and click Properties > Group Policy > Edit > User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts (Logon/Logoff) > Logon > Add...
4. Enter path to logon.bat (e.g., \\ACME.local\sysvol\ACME.local\scripts\logon.bat) and click OK three times
5. Login from workstation. Drive x: should appear in My Computer.

Auto map network drives on login for certain users:

1. Save the following batch file to the domain controller's NETLOGON share as logon.bat:
   @echo off
   net use * /delete /yes
   net use x: \\file_server_name\shared_directory_name
2. Active Directory Users and Computers > Users > Double click user > Profile
3. Enter "logon.bat" (no quotes) in the "Logon script" box and click OK
4. Login from workstation as user modified in step 2. Drive x: should appear in My Computer.

Auto map network drives on login based on Group membership

1. Get KiXtart
2. Put WKIX32.EXE in both the domain controller's NETLOGON share and %SystemRoot% (normally C:\WINNT\).
3. Save the following script as map_drive.kx to the NETLOGON share (be sure to change the group as needed - here we've used Domain Users):
   use "*" /DELETE
   if ingroup("Domain Users")
   use x: "\\server_name\share_name"
   endif
4. Save the following batch file (which calls your KiXtart script) as login.bat to the domain controller's NETLOGON share:
   @echo off
   \\server_name\NETLOGON\WKIX32.EXE \\server_name\NETLOGON\map_drive.kx
5. Active Directory Users and Computers
6. Right click domain name at top left and click Properties > Group Policy > Edit > User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts (Logon/Logoff) > Logon > Add...
7. Enter path to login.bat (e.g., \\ACME.local\sysvol\ACME.local\scripts\login.bat) and click OK three times
8. Login from workstation as a user belonging to group designated in map_drive.kx. Drive x: should appear in My Computer.
9. If x: does not appear, check the permissions of NETLOGON, WKIX32.EXE, your script files, etc. Also, make sure that the user or group has the necessary permissions on the shared folder you are mapping.

More KiXtart Examples

1. Map drive if user is *not* a member of a certain group (in this case, "Students"):

   If InGroup("Students") = 0
      Use R: "\\server\records"
   EndIf
   

2. Using Boolean operators:

   If InGroup("Teachers") Or InGroup("Office") Or InGroup("PTA")
      Use G: "\\server\Grownup_Files"
   EndIf
   
   If InGroup("2008 Class") And InGroup("Honors")
      Use S: "\\server\smart_kids"
   EndIf
   

3. Using Select...EndSelect (stops processing on the first true Case)

   Select
      Case InGroup("Students")
         Use S: "\\server\student_storage"
      Case InGroup("Office")
         Use O: "\\server\office_docs"
         Use R: "\\server\records"
      Case InGroup("Teachers")
         Use O: "\\server\office_docs"
         Use S: "\\server\student_storage"
         Use T: "\\server\teaching_materials"
   EndSelect
