vbscript, login script wont run

Author	Message
Josh #1 / 5	login script wont run Please be patient with me as I'm new to scripting. I have created a simple login script in vbs. If I double click it, it works fine, however if a enter it as the login script on a 2000 server and logon with a 95 workstation it does not appear to run. I've tried using a batch file as a login script and that works fine. I also tried it a wsh and this did not work either, is there something special I have to put in the code to make it run a login file for a 95 workstation ?

You have installed WSH on the Win 95 box? It isn't normally installed there. Tom Lavedas ----------- http://www.pressroom.com/~tglbatch/

Michael Harri #3 / 5	login script wont run You could logon under this arrangement only from a Win2K box which supports direct execution of a logon.vbs. But Win9x, WinME, and WinNT do not. The lowest common denominator across all of them (from Win9x thru Win2K) is .bat files... -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting -- Quote: > Please be patient with me as I'm new to scripting.

Dave Jone #4 / 5	login script wont run I have the same situation. What I did was create my vbs file and placed it in the \Netlogon folder on the server. Then I created a batch file with the same filename. The batch file runs the script. It does not matter what the clients operating system is. In the users profile on NT/2000 I have the xxxx.BAT file being run. Here's what the bat file contains: Wscript \\Servername\Netlogon\xxxxxxx.Bat That's all it does. Wscript is a file that is on the clients providing that they have had IE5 installed. If not, download the latest version of Windows Script Host 2.0 and install it on the clients.

Lala #5 / 5	login script wont run I'm not much of a programmer either (I'm new to scripting as well), but the consensus that I hear is to have a .bat file call the .vbs script.
