Where is the default login script located. I have NOvell version 5. Also how do I prevent NDPS drivers from loading on each workstation after each PC reboots. I have 5 Ricoh print stations and each driver tries to load to each PC after reboot.
Thanks for any helpful info.

The first question is easy. Assuming you have Admin rights run the program Nwadmn32.exe located in the Win32 subdirectory of Public on the SYS volume. It will automatically come up highlighting your tree "Object" at the top of a list. Right click on this "Object" and select Details. You will see Loginscript down this menu.

The second question requires more information. However for starters you can unload the NDPS manager until you have figured out what you need to do by doing:

Servername:Unload NDPSM at the console.

I think the guy before me is right about the login script.
as for ndps printers. if you go into nwadmin and look at the properties on the printer.
then click control -> set defaults -> drivers
from there select your os and select [none] for the driver associated with the printer object.

The answer number 1 is correct as to where to find the login scripts, but your question was where is the default login script located. Basically it does not matter because you are not able to edit it. It is a fixed script. If you want to avoid it, simply put "NO_DEFAULT" at the top of your login script (for either the container or the user object) and then put in the script that you want to be able to use instead.

I think your printer part is answered.

The second part of your question about NDPS drivers loading at login, In NWADMIN, double click on the printer, go to NDPS Remot Printer Management, look to see if there is acheck mark in the "Install to workstations in this container".
Remove this check mark and the problem should be no more.

You can also open NWAdmin open the user and go to NDPS Remote Printer Management to make sure that they don't have any printers being assigned after they login.
