Hide CMD.EXE at Logon

[Guest]

I'm using NT4 as our server and Win2k workstations. There is a logon script
that gets run whenever a user logs on to a workstation that maps printers,
etc. The problem is that users see the script running and close it before it
completes.

So is there an easy way to "hide" this batch file as it is running?

Hi,

not really easy at all.
You may want to check the KB article

How to Hide the Logon Script Dialog Box on a Windows Client

for a way to solve it partially.
Another way could be, to configure the logon script to start an exe file,
which would also run, if the batch window is canceled.
The exe file you could create with a utility like bat2exe also from an batch
file, but if this works, may depend from the contents of your script.
