Hello!
My name is Assaf Lasry and I have a question concerning logon scripts. I have a novell server and an NT server. All of my users get authenticated from both scripts. I would like to know if is it possible to copy the commands written in the Novell logon script, to the NT logon script. If it is possible, then what should I do?

I appreciate your answer,
Assaf Lasry

You can translate the scripts from Novell to NT, but you can't copy them directly. The commands in Novell that are used to capture print queues and map drives are completely different from the commands in NT that perform the same function.

I don't know how familiar you are with each NOS, but one thing you could do is have a sample from Novell and a sample from NT handy so you can use them as a reference when translating between servers. For example:
map z:=server_name/sys: (Novell)
=
net use z: \\server\sys (Microsoft)

or...

capture l=1 q=PrintQName (Novell)
=
net use lpt1: \\server\printername (Microsoft)

I suppose some enterprising programmer could come up with a program that would translate it all automatically, but I don't know of any that would.
