Configuring User Logon Scripts

The logon script configuration must meet the following requirements:

User logon scripts should be stored in a file share called [netlogon] on the HP CIFS Server.
Should be set to UNIX executable permission.
Any logon script should contain valid commands recognized by the Windows client.
A logon user should have proper access permissions to execute logon scripts.

The following is an example configuration for user logon scripts:

[global]

logon script = %U.bat

[netlogon]

path = /etc/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.

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.
