samba - Aug 2006 - append to path from login script?

I'm wondering if there is a way to add a network share (either UNC or 
mapped drive) to the path of a user when they login?

for example have a directory \\smbserver\apps and put putty.exe in 
there.. so that when I sit down at a machine I will always have putty in 
the path..

Is that possible?

It seems more related to how to do an "Windows script".

Look for some resouce about this.

Good luck.

The user's path is %path% in Windows. A command like:

SET path=%path%;\\smbserver\apps

should work.  Of course, if you have the share mapped to a drive letter, 
you should use that instead (shorter and gives an extra layer of 
redirection, in case you change the server).

just do windows key + r, \\smbserver\apps\putty.exe

or install wpkg and have it copy putty.exe to all users\desktop

I make this that way, in the logon script:

After mapping the network drive.

...
path | find "R:\Util;" > nul
if errorlevel 1 echo Verificando a variavel de ambiente path 
............ NAO DEFINIDA
if not errorlevel 1 goto path_ok
\\%SERVIDOR%\netlogon\winset.exe PATH=R:\Util;%PATH%
if errorlevel 1 echo Definindo a variavel de ambiente path 
.............. ERRO
if not errorlevel 1 echo Definindo a variavel de ambiente path 
.............. OK
:path_ok
echo Verificando a variavel de ambiente path ............ JA DEFINIDA
...

I dont remeber where I got the "winset.exe" utility, its needed to 
redefine the environmnet variables outside the shell executing the logon 
script.
