View Full Version : Run logon script remotely and authenticate (W2K)

I would like users who are on a VPN to run their logon scripts that they normally run in the office when logging onto the domain.

If I just use
start \\10.0.0.1\netlogon\username.bat
I get an unknown user error.

To get around this I set up a shared drive 'Remote_Launch$' and now the client script looks like:
net use x: \\10.0.0.1\Remote_Launch$ password /user:mydomain\username /persistant: no
\\10.0.0.1\netlogon\username.bat

That works, but seems a bit wasteful.

Any suggestions to avoid the added step of getting authentication by net use?

Thx,
D.
