Logon to domain from cmd line

[Todd Sowter]

Hi,

I am working in a Netware environment but need some user to connect to
Widows domain resources. Rather than mapping to each required Windows server
with credentials supplied (ie net use \\server\share /u:domain\user
password) I am hoping I can logon to the domain during or after the netware
login script.

I am using dynamic local user acc's with the netware client and, for policy
reasons, am not able to configure the client to logon to the domain at the
same time as the netware logon. User accounts and passwords are sync'ed
between AD and NDS (eDirectory) using DirXML.

Todd.

There seems to be a contradiction in your two paragraphs:
I am hoping I can logon to the domain during or after the netware
login script
vs.
am not able to configure the client to logon to the domain at the
same time as the netware logon

Do you want to logon to the Windows domain during the Netware login
script or not? If so, that can be controlled by the NT tab on the Novell
login dialogue, I believe (it's been a while).

If not: there is no equivalent in MS Networking to Netware's LOGIN.EXE.
I don't think it's possible to delay the Windows domain login. The best
you can do is to map drives/printers with credentials.

Michael,

Sorry, I shouldn't have said "not able to configure the NWClient" - this is
definately possible but unfortunately presents other problems for us. So
it's a case of 'not an option'.

I would like to logon to the domain within the NDS script but was hoping for
a cmd line util to acheive this.

I thought I would be out of luck... thanks for the reply though. I may go
and look at moving all our NT file resources to DFS which may mean I only
need to auth to one server.
