Have you ever tried a login script?

Kind regards,

Hello friends,

I am running Samba 3.0 on RHEL4 server. Around 200 roaming profiles are also
configured and they login to XP machines. Things are working for us except
in network rollout scenarios. We dont know how to roll out patches or some
global changes to all the profiles. We have to visit each and every profile
(loggin each of them) to do even the small changes. Today we have to map a
network share in all the profiles and we are stuck again.
I will appreciate if you can please suggest me something. I can script a
batch file to map the network drives. But dont know how my to automate this
at the logon for all the profiles. 
Please suggest.

Thanks,

Gigs

Hi,

I dont have samba with LDAP.
I took out "\scripts\" part from logon script part in GLOBAL settings.
ALso
I created a script for a particular test user (script name is same as login
name). I stored that script under /var/samba/netlogon/. Permissions were
also set so that this user can read/write/Execute, plus the ownership was
also changed.
I tried loggin as this user to test the script but nothing was mapped. I
think the script failed. Can you think of any reason? I even restarted my
samba services.

Thanks,

Gigs
