Basic Login script

[Clynch]

I would like to run a small .exe file on my Win2K Server
in order to take inventory on the clients machine.
I need to place the .exe in the login script but never
done this before. The program is in a shared folder that
all users have access to. the path is

\\ace-file01\SHARED\InventoryData\AceAssets\clientcon.exe\

How would I write this in my Login.bat file??????

Thanks

You could try

net use x: \\shared
if exists \\shared\inventorydata\aceassets\clientcon.exe
(continue from the line above)goto end
:end
net use x: /disconnect

cheers

Can't you just execute from within your login.bat file?

LOGIN.BAT
--
@echo off
\\ace-file01\shared\inventorydata\aceassets\clientcon.exe

While the basic idea of this post is good, it contains several
errors and omissions that prevent it from running properly.
Try this instead:

- Create a batch file called "netlogon.bat" in this folder:
"c:\documents and settings\all users\start menu\programs\startup"
- Put the following lines into netlogon.bat:
@echo off
net use x: \\ace-file01\SHARED
if exist x:\InventoryData\AceAssets\clientcon.exe
x:\InventoryData\AceAssets\clientcon.exe
(unwrap this line!)
net use x: /d

I can see how this helps for one pc. I want to put this

i=on the server and have it run when people logon. I dont
want to go to all machines and add this bat file to it.

In this case it becomes an issue for your system administrator.
The following questions are important:
- Do your users get validated by a domain controller?
- Do their accounts have a logon script name?
- Should the script execute at every log on, or just once?
- Do all users have appropriate access to \\ace-file01\SHARED?
