Configuring User Logon Scripts

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.
Running Logon Scripts When Logging On
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.
