NT 4.0 RAS with XP client

In order to run a login script automatically, you have to be logging on to the domain with a domain user account that has a login script assigned to it. You also have to be logging on to the domain using the dial-up connection, rather than logging on to the local workstation and then dialing in to the server. Therefore, the local workstation has to also be a member of the domain. There may be ways around this, but if so I haven't found them. So, initially the remote user has to dial in and join the domain - if they don't have administrative rights to the domain (which of course they don't because you are a security-conscious network administrator), you will have to create their domain workstation accounts first. (Also BTW, these must be XP Pro workstations, not XP Home because XP Home workstations cannot participate in a domain as domain members.) Then, once they've joined the domain, they will disconnect and reboot their workstation. Then, they will log back on with the domain name selected and a checkmark in the box for "log on using dial-up connection." This will walk them through the process of dialing out using whatever dial-up connection they normally use and then will log them on and run their log-in script. Hope this helps!
