net use and logon scripts

[Randy Barger, MCSE, CCNA, CNA]

As always... "that depends".

If you are running all NT-based clients, you can use the IFMEMBER.EXE
utility in the resource kit. If you have Win9x-based clients, you'll need
to use a 3rd-party scripting utility like KiXtart or ScriptLogic (or you can
write VBScript).

As Randy said, above. The short story is that Windows has
historically had terrible out-of-the-box feature support for login
clients, particularly Win9x. I've known of more than one company
which hung on to a NetWare box in a mostly NT environment to avoid all
the login limitations (in exchange for which they got the usual
"client software" problems).

A couple of general points -

(1) If you are using Win9x/NT clients and you go to a "better" feature
set allowed by KiXtart or WSH, you will still need to have a batch
file "starter" since that is all the older clients will recognize; you
can then start Kix or WSH scripts from the batch file.

(2) For newer clients on a Win2K network, you may be able to use
policies to do this so you don't have to write cumbersome scripts.

Hi Billy,

W2k supports IF...ELSE constructs (even NT4 did, it just wasn't documented)!
Just type if /? in a command box.
Since NT4 Microsoft develops a quite good command interpreter.
