Hi Everyone,
I recently setup a Windows 2000 Server and conected some clients to it. I wanted to configure the older 98 systems to connect to the Domain and to get authenticated and in the process to run their individual logon scripts. However, Ifound that the 98 machine didn’t run the logon script after loggin on to the domain.
This is what I did.
Client Side:
I setup the pc to connect and validate with the domain. This part works as the user gets authenticated by the Primary. (by the way, only one server in the domain)
Server Side:
I setup the User’s User Profile by typing in \\servername\netlogon\user.bat under the logon script section. I also created a home folder with the path f:\corp\user where I shared the “corp” as well as the “user” folders and gave full control (both share and security permissions) to the user. I also ensured that higher level security permissions don’t flow to these folders. Finally, I placed the logon batch file titled “user.bat” under %systemroot%\sysvol\sysvol\company.com\scripts folder.
The logon batch file was a simple one as follows:
net use * \\servername\user and the files was named user.bat
Thats it..
Now my question is, is the above correct for windows 2000 or what am I missing here. Your help would be deeply appreciated.
Best Regards,
Nigel
