Hello,

I would like to know if it is possible to indicate a script file to run when the user logs in. Currently, I am doing it the long way ie - each time I create a user, I specify the script to run in the Profile tab.

Is there a user template which will allow me to do this in Win2000 Server? Also, which security policy template should I select to disable passwords expiration which will affect all my clients?

Thank you,
Joyce

I think what you might want to do is maybe create a GPO. If you type mmc at the run command and click console and add new snap in it will give you a number of choices. One of them is administrative templates. I think you can set up a policy through there that will specify what you want ran at startup for users or different users and then save that template to a file. After creating a new user just add the template you created to his/her profile or add him/her to the GPO you created. I think if you want to disable passwords expiration you can do that at the domain level and it will override all local settings.
