NT4 group logon scripts

[TKinton]

Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, but I can't see anything.

Server OS: NT4 Server sp6a
Client OS: Win 95/98

I can happily assign a logon script to individual domain users but was wondering if logon scripts can be assigned to a group. I have 60 users and want them all to run a script on logon. I can't seem to find out how to do this without setting each individual user with a startup script.

Is it possible?

If so, how?


Thanks

Not sure if it is quite what you are after, but have a read up on a tool called ifmember.exe which you can use in a log on script and set items depending on what group a user is in.

We use a Visual basic script and call this vbs from a batch file to solve this problem

Sub LoopGroups()
IF CheckGroup("IT&quot = "TRUE" Then
WshShell.run "net use G: \\server\it" , 0, True
Exit Sub
End IF

IF CheckGroup("Accounts&quot = "TRUE" Then
WshShell.run "net use G: \\server\accounts" , 0, True
Exit Sub
End IF

We have found this works but the members must be part of a global group and not a local group

I would suggest that you use KIXTART, it's free and will give you all the login tools needed for group management.
