domain login scripts

[Hem]

Hi All

Just tosay that I am quite new to Tek -tips but wondered if there is anyone who can a help or advise on the following:

I have set up a win 2000 server, installed AD and set up users and groups.

I would like to run a login script which would map drives etc as soon users login. This means I do not have to put in individual login scripts on user accounts.

I have been testing with login scrips (something which Im learning very slowly), but now whn I put the login script in the domain objects group olicy in user configuration\windows setttings\scripts\logon/logoff\logon
It does not run. i think it did run when I was testing before..but now it does not. I have saved the logon script in the the netshare folder in sysvol in the correct folder.

Can anyone help??

Another issue I would like to resolve is mapping drives, I come from a Novell background so am use to the easy novell interface which maps the drives and folders so users only see what you give them access to.

is there anyway, or a workingscript that I can use during logon (assuming my testscript gets working again) that will allow me to give group access to mapped drives??

e.g if in group 'accounts' map servername\share\accounts to L: Is there any hope??????

If anyone is using kix32..can they give me the full instructions on how to implement the kix script??
Cananyone also explain if they uise kix32 what the kxrpc.exe does and when it should be used??

sorry for this being so long.

Hem,

Scriptlogic will give you a windows GUI for kix. It will provide you with very flexible scripting options. Of course, its a little extra money to spend, but if you don't really want to mess with the guts of scripting, its invaluable.

They also have a companion prodcut called Autoshare which will automatically create private user folders ala Novell's home directories. NT/2000 doesn't provide this automatically as you have to go to each folder and set security and share permissions to make them truly private.

Make sure users have the appropriate rights to apply the policy you added the script to. Maybe log in with an Admin account or something.
Make sure the script file still exists.
Check the NTFS rights to the script file
If any of the clients are NOT W2K you still have to put the script in the NetLogon share. NT 4.0 will not run a script applied by a GPO. So in a mixed environment you have to do it the legacy way as well because a W2K computer will not run a scrip that's in the NetLogon share. Well Unless that's where you keep it and then point the GPO to that script. That will help you from having to maintain 2 scripts.
