Windows 2000 Scripts :O)

hello to all vbforumers

i got a question about windows 2000! exciting huh? Aiight, here it is: I have a small network in my basement (i believe most of us do) all running under Windows 2000 and there is no domain controller (I cant get my hand on a cheap copy of Windows 2000 server). I want to assign a log on script to every machine on the network so, i go in Users and i type the path of the log on script but it keeps on giving me an error cause i'm not using the right path. I remember in Windows NT 4, the path was something like [SystemDrive]\WINNT\System32\Imports\Scripts\blahblah.cmd. What is the path under Windows 2000? or can i take one computer and use it as domain controller?

Thanks alot :O)

You answered the last point there yourself - for the domain controller, I think you need the server or advanced server version.

The [SystemDrive] part you type is called an environment variable - you can look up what ones you have of these by right clicking my computer > properties > advanced > environment variables. In my version (XP) the variable is called TEMP, I don't know how you call this from DOS though to get it to be read - %temp, [temp] etc...

i know i was giving that as an example... it would have been %systemdrive% and not [systemdrive]....

yea that sucks that i need a Server or Advanced server version of windows for that, GR! Not even linux would do it.

so i'm down to where do i put my scripts so i can write it in there (( look at screen shot ))

I have a **COUGH**Pirated**COUGH** version of Windows 2000 Advanced Server. I also have Windows 2003 Server. :) :D :cool:

*cough* can u share it with me *cough*
