Login Scripts

[Mark [Support]]

Hello Everyone.

Another quick question. When a user logs in, there is an option ofr a login
script. Where on the hard drive is this localed by default?

And, can I assign a login scripts to a group or just a user?

Cheers
Mark

By Default

WINNT\SYSVOL\domain\script

If you need groups based scripting you can assign a script to a group through "IF MEMBER OF" within the script

You could also use a GPO and restrict permissions accodingly to grant a specific GPO to a certain group but this can get messy.

Chris,

Typically this would be in the NETLOGON shared folder, which usually has the
path c:\winnt\SYSVOL\sysvol\yourdomain.com\scripts on all of the WIN2000
Domain Controllers ( with the scripts folder actually being the one shared
as NETLOGON ).

I believe that the utility that one could use for making old-school logon
scripts based on group membership is called 'IfMember.exe' and is a part of
the WIN2000 Resource Kit. If Mark has all WIN2000+ clients then he can make
use of .vbs scripts for his logon scripts - either 'normal' or
'group-based'. Well, he can do it even if he has legacy clients. He might
want to take a look at Richard Mueller's web site at
http://www.rlmueller.net for some really excellent examples of how to
accomplish this.

HTH,

If you really want to get aggressive you could use
Kixtart from http://www.robvanderwoude.com/index.html for
the scripting to ensure compatibility.
