Topic: Loginscript Help

[Ray Mitchell]

If you don't want to use roaming profiles then don't set up Profiles on your Windows workstation. But you do need to enable the roaming profiles setting in sme to get netlogon.bat to work.

I do not have profiles set on my Win 95/98 & 2000 workstations and as mentioned before netlogon.bat works OK and sets up drives, maps home folder, printers, & sets time, without using any other script tools etc

I'm not sure that's entirely accurate.  I used Tibor's template fragment as noted above and I do not need to enable roaming profiles (at least I do not think this is the same as roaming profiles, certainly I did not enable roaming profiles from the admin page) to make the home drives work.  As a reminder here is the fragment:

{
# users logon home path
# %L substitutes for this logon servers name
# %U is username

return "" unless ($SambaDomainMaster eq "yes");

"logon home = \%L\%U\._winprofiles";

}

Using the above fragment, I was able to get netlogon.bat to work correctly with home drives (it even worked for mapping other drives and printers before I applied the fragment, just not home drives.)  However, I was not able to figure out how to map drives based on group membership.  With the two utilities I listed above, I am able to map drives based on group membership.  Do you have another way around this?

Thanks,

if you don't want to use roaming profiles try this:

net use H: \[servername]\%username%

this presumes the SME account is the same you use for login to your machine
makes use of windows environment variable which seems logical as this is usually
the account/home drive you are after.

works with all versions

cheers.

Ok, that seems to work well and is much simpler than applying a custom fragment.  I'm sold.  Now, as far as mapping drives based on group membership, is there a more elegant or simpler method than the one I listed above?

Thanks for the great tips!

I hate to keep beating this dead horse, but I'm having a problem with the above tip.  It works great in Windows 2000, but not in Windows 98.  I am back to using the fragment that tibor posted, which as been the most stable (non-roaming profile) setting across the different flavors of Windows.

This is what I used on a clients mixed 9X/2000/XP network.
Basically it works like this.  Filter the users out first, apply personal settings then jump to the group tag and do additional settings.

Hope this helps.
