I am certain this is a stupid question, but I have been reading books and searching Google for the answer and have come up blank. Are domain logins required for login scripts to work or will they work in workgroup mode as well? Thanks in advance and I have my asbestos underwear in case the question is really stupid

Hallo, Bruce, Du (bferrell) meintest am 03.01.09:> Are domain logins required for login scripts to work or will they > work in workgroup mode as well?You can put a local script into the user's "autostart" directory which calls the logon script of the server. That's the way I connect Windows XP Home clients to the server. ------------- local logon script -------------- @echo off set Server=192.168.0.1 rem or which IP address it may be ping -n 1 -w 1 %Server% | find /I "(0%" if errorlevel 1 goto tunix \\%Server%\netlogon\logon rem or where the logon script may live :tunix exit Viele Gruesse!
