wsh(Windows Scripting Host), Login script - Script running before user logs on.

Author	Message
Ken Dougla #1 / 2	Login script - Script running before user logs on. I am trying to use WSH (cscript.exe) to run login scripts for Win95 clients on NT4 server. The problem I seem to be having is that I can't create a User object in the script as the script runs before the user is logged on. eg, strUserID = WSHNetwork.UserName When I look at the value of strUserID in the de{filter} it is always nil. The script runs fine if I execute it when already logged on, and I can see a value for strUserID in the de{filter}. I am using a batch file nominated in the user profile to start "cscript loginfile.wsh" I remember seeing a reference to this issue in Andrew Clinicks' slide show, but is there any resolution? BTW I have tried; Do strUserID = WSHNetwork.UserName Loop Until strUserID <> "" Which I found in someone else's login script but it doesn't seem to help. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Mark Perciva #2 / 2	Login script - Script running before user logs on. You need to run the VBScript file with wscript because the login procedure waits for csript to finish before actually logging the user in, where as if you use wscript the logon procedure will not hang around waiting for the script to finish. So once the user is properly logged in the VBScript will come out of the While...Wend loop and continue processing your logon script.
