How do I give everyone a startup script in Win2k Server?

[panuvin]

Hello, I'm trying to imply a login script for each of the users that connect to my Win2k server. I'm kind of new to systems administration and was wondering if this was a simple task to administer, and if anyone could give me some help on the subject, or possibly send me a link to a good tutorial on Win2k login scripts. Thanks so much!

This is how Ido it.
Create your logon script.
Save it to the desktop.
Goto Active Directory Users and computers.
Open you Default Domain GPO.
Select Edit
Find the Users section NOT Computers.
Find the logon entry.
Select it and pick browse.
Write down the location in the Path.
Copy your logon script to that folder.
Go back to the GPO and when you select browse it should already be list.
Just select it and exit all the way out.

A loggoff can be done exactly the same way.

Tip, create shortcuts to the scripts on your desktop so you can tweak/edit them easily.

What you need to do is a)

Plan what you want the scripts to do e.g. Map Network Drives
Map printers.

Then copy an existing VBScript, change the names of the shares and printers and try it out.

Assign your scripts via a Group Policy, rather than the individual's property box (avoid NT way).

Here is a place to get those scripts to copy and edit, you will soon pick up VBScript for logon scripts.
