Domain Server

Is it possible to run a script when the user logs in the domain, at a windows workstation?

Yes. it is possible to run a script when the user logs in the domain at a windows workstation. These scripts are called netlogon scripts, and are to be published at the domain controller shared folder called netlogon.

In an IPBRICK setup all users are, by default, setup to look for netlogon script called [user's login].bat (ex.: for a user with the login johndoe the file should be named johndoe.bat).

The netlogon shared folder is located at //[server's name]/netlogon/ (ex.: //ipbrick/netlogon). On the server's file system you may find this folder located at /home1/_netlogon.

NOTE:

• share/file permissions: users members of "Domain Admins" group have read-write permissions, all other users have read-only permissions in the netlogon shared folder. So, only "Domain Admins" user's are authorized to create/edit/delete netlogon files (scripts).
• file/script creation: by default the logon script files do not exist, they are not created automatically. Domain users are automatically (by default) defined to look for [user's login].bat, meanwhile this file is not automatically instantiated, so when you access for the first time to netlogon share you will find it empty.
