Creating or Modifying the Login Script
You need to modify login scripts for users whose workstations will be
upgraded.
To upgrade workstations for users in a container, modify that container’s login
script.
To upgrade workstations for users in a profile, modify that profile’s login
script.
To upgrade specific users’ workstations, modify those users’ login scripts.
To upgrade a workstation running bindery-based client software (such as
Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks which ships with Windows 95 or
Windows 98), edit the system login script (SYS:PUBLIC\NET$LOG.DAT).
Creating or Modifying a Login Script Using ConsoleOne
1
Double-click the object whose login script you want to create or modify.
2 Click Login Script.
3 Enter the login script commands and information into the login script text
box.
For a sample of the login script commands that you need to add to the
scripts, see “Sample Client Installation Login Script (Windows 95/98 and
NT/2000 Only)” on page 25.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that you edit the sample login script to match the server
names, directory paths, and specifications of your own network.
For additional information on all login script commands, see “Login
Script Commands and Variables” on page 59.
4 To save the login script and close the Details dialog box, click OK.
If the login script that you just created was a container or user login script,
you’re finished and the client software will be installed or updated the
next time users log in.
If the login script that you just created was for a Profile object, you must
associate the User object with the Profile object and make the User object
a trustee of the Profile object.
For additional information on all login scripts, see “Creating or
Modifying Login Scripts” on page 32.
