Login Scripts with Win9x

[cooperj]

I have a login script on my novell server, it is running a "net use" command to map a windows 2003 server share.

This mapping works fine for all the nt based systems we have, but for the win9x(dos based) systems when the command windows comes up (to run the net use) it comes up with a error 3787 "You Must Log on before Performing this Operation".

After the system fully boots to windows i can then go in and manually do the net use command from prompt, but i need to be able to do it in the script.

Hi

You will have to put the script into a batch file which is called after the Win9x PC has logged in. ie Bactch filed called from Startup.
Its not as neat and tidy, but it should do the job.

are you talking about physically going around to each computer and then making a batch file to run the net use?

 

[cooperj]

if thats what your talking about. i really would not like to do that, cause i need to be able to change the login script on the fly to run diff. exe's and change mappings.

Hi

Yes the batch file name would be in each startup folder on each machine, but as startup is executed much later in the booting (after network login) then the batch file could be in one central location such as your network drive.
I had this same problem years ago and could find no other alternative.

You would not have to go round every PC, just run a batch file in the login script to copy another batch file into the Startup folder on the machine.
