I don't know where to start with logon scripts can anyone point me to some URLs of the basics please. I need to know how to create them, where to store them so the 95/98 machines actually run the scripts.

Cheers.

If you're running an NT domain, the netlogon scripts will run on any computer that logs into that domain. The scripts should be placed in the %systemroot%\system32\repl\scripts\export directory on your replication master domain.
You can find some good info on logon scripts at www.scriptlogic.com

First, assuming you know that a logon script is a batch file with command lines in it, you can find all of the basic commands that can be used listed in Windows NT help. On your NT server or workstation, go to Start/Help and then use the index to find "commands" - you'll find the alphabetical listing here and can browse or look up any command you might want to use. There's a TechRepublic article by Brien Posey called "Simplifying Network Options Through Logon Scripts" and there may be some other articles available in the archive too; and also look in the Windows NT Concepts and Planning Guide, Ch. 3 talks about how to create and manage logon scripts. Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I am unfortunately not qualified in anything network related and have had to teach myself everything from scratch, so you'll have to forgive me for this simple questions.

Thanks again
