Scripting HOSTS file

[Guest]

Does anyone know how to insert a line into the hosts file,
from the logon script running against the user account on
the server.

Thank you

echo 123.123.123.123 hostname>>%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

I believe that the default permissions on this file will not allow an
ordinary to modify the file. Also, you may want to do something that checks
for this entry all ready so you don't fill up the file with redundant
entries.

Thank you, that works, but as you stated it puts in
redundant entries, any idea where syntex to check for that
line?

IF %ERRORLEVEL%==1 ECHO. >> %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\SERVICES&&ECHO
