Configuring User Logon Scripts

The logon script configuration must meet the following requirements:

The following is an example configuration for user logon scripts:

[global]
logon script = %U.bat

[netlogon]
path = /var/opt/samba/netlogon
writeable = yes
browseable = no
guest ok = no

In this example, the batch (.bat) file is executed from a file share called [netlogon] on a HP CIFS Server configured as a PDC.

Running Logon Scripts When Logging On

A HP CIFS Server configured as a PDC can enable the execution of logon scripts when users log on. To enable this feature, the following must be done:

• User logon scripts should be stored in a file share on the HP CIFS Server called [netlogon].

• The HP CIFS Server enables the execution of login scripts by setting the global parameter named logon script in the smb.conf file.

• Any logon script that is to be executed on a Windows Client must be in DOS text format and contain executable permission.
