Identify Windows NT Sever / Workstation

[McDoa]

How can i idenfity a Windows NT 4.0 Sever or Workstation in my logon-script?

You can do an "IF EXIST" line, and look for a file that is only on a workstation, or visa versa. A good example of this is usrmgr for a server and musrmgr for a workstation.

So, if you copy the following into your file....

@echo off
IF EXIST c:\winnt\system32\musrmgr.exe goto WS
IF EXIST c:\winnt\system32\usrmgr.exe goto server
:server
rem enter server specific commands here
echo "We have a server!, executing server-specific commands."
goto common
:WS
rem enter workstation specific commands here
echo "We have a Workstation!"
goto common
:common
rem enter common and Win9x commands here


Not sure how this will work with permissions. Like, if a user can't see musrmgr.exe, it may just go to common. Try it and let me know.

Hi to identify NT 4.0 WS or Server, check the following regkey !
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\ProductOptions","ProductType"

If ProdType = Winnt it's a Workstation
If ProdType = servernt or lanmannt it's a Server !!

The check for Wusrmgr or Musrmgr, will fail on Administrator WS, because many of them will have the usrmgr installed to administrator the domain

Is there an easy way to check that in a login script though?

You can check this, with a program such as Kixtart for example !
