Setting Up Login Scripts
A login script is a list of commands that executes when a user logs in. It is
typically used to connect the user to network resources like files and printers.
Login scripts execute on the user's workstation in the following order:
1. Container login script
2. Profile login script
3. User login script
During login, if the system doesn’t find any of these login scripts, it skips to
the next one in the list. If none are found, the system executes a default script
that maps a search drive to the SYS:PUBLIC folder on the user's default
server. The default server is set on the Environment property page of the user
object.
