I am in the process of phasing out my Novell server. One of the things that I need to do now is convert my somewhat lengthy Novell login script to an NT logon script. My Novell login script maps drives based on groups, runs programs (some only runon certain days), and copies files. Any suggestions or good resources to go to for some information on the best way to do this?

The MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) site is usually the first resource I search. One MSDN article that addresses your question is titled "Windows NT User Environments", and is located at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/winresource/dnwinnt/S7573.HTM

Once the page loads, click on the "show toc" link, and the Table of Contents for the MSDN site will be displayed. Under the "Windows NT User Environments" topic are seven articles in two sub-topics dealing with user directories, login scripts and environment variables.

If you find the Table of Contents too overwhelming, browse to the main MSDN search page at:

http://search.microsoft.com/us/dev/

and enter keywords or phrases you wish to locate. The number of articles can also be overwhelming, depending on how specific the search criteria is.

(If the URLs above do not work, locate and remove any spaces inserted by the TechRepublic system.)

Hope this helps...

have a look at the utility "kix32.exe" - excellent NT scripting tool - if you need the website let me know and I'll look it up but you should be a ble to find it with a search - sounds like it will do everything you need
