Really simple login script

[robatwork]

Hi,
I have never used login scripts before, but I want a way to simply copy a database file (foo.mde) from a location on the server onto each user's PC, every time they login.

I want it copied to a folder c:\db (that may not exist initially)

Can anybody advise me the best way to do this? Our domain controller is a W2K server...

many thanks
Rob

If not exist c:\db md c:\db
Copy /y "\\server\share\path\to\foo.mde" "c:\db

Save the above script as a plain text file with the extention of ".bat", place this in your NETLOGON share on your domain controller, then go into every user account and point them to this log-in script, or use global policy.

Good luck.

Thanks for the assist - I was in a rush and should have included that information!

Though you can select multiple user accounts at once and change the properties for the group to make this the logon script for all (you need to do this in each OU).

Thanks - got most of the way there myself but didn't try to OU thing - would have been easier for sure#
