Login Scripts - Server 2003
Posted by Gerald on April 12th, 2006


Is it possible to get login scripts working if user's computer are not part
of domain? The users are logging in to the server with notebooks configured
as workgroup computers (seamless connection - password saved) as they are
roaming a lot and have issues connecting to other networks when domain
configured.
We have the need to run login scripts everytime they connect and login.
The server is MS Server 2003 with AD and DNS running. Notebooks are Windows
XP Professional

Thanks in advance...

This is fairly easy. Place a batch file (e.g. netlogon.bat)
into the startup folder of the All Users profile folder on
the laptop and make it look like so:

@echo off
ping aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd | find /i "bytes=" > nul || goto :eof
call \\YourServer\netlogon\netlogon.bat

where aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP address of your server.

The nice thing is that you still control the logon script
centrally.
