Automate rdisk through login script, is it possible?

[lifegard2]

Anyone know how to automate the rdisk process through a login script? Here's the sitch:

I would like to silently run rdisk on all workstations when the user logs in. I don't care if it runs every time or just once a day. I need rdisk to save the data to a folder on the local machine, one folder for each day of the week.

I know how to automate the day of week and I think I can setup to do it only once a day, but I am concerned about permissions. Most of my users are in their local Power Users group; few, if any, are in the local admins group. With this perms schema will they have the ability to run rdisk from the login script or is something I am going to need to do manually?

Any ideas?

I think it's something you'll have to do manually. Rdisk (I would presume) would only run as an administrator, due to the security permissions required to access some of the registry keys it backs up.

Also, it doesn't appear to run "silently" or from the command line - its a GUI tool.

Finally, it will only save to a floppy disk, as its there to create an ERD. MCSE NT4/W2K

Hi,

You can use :
rdisk /s-

This command run a rdisk in quiet mode.

You can use this in a scheduled command, but choose a good period like 2:00 AM every week, on monday for example :
at \\mycomputer 2:00 /EVERY:M "rdisk /s-"
