You should test the login script before you use it. You can also use the same technique if you want to use a login script on a machine or a user that isn't part of a domain.
This technique only works for local machines - if you want to test with a domain login you should follow the instructions for implementing the script here.
- Create a new directory on your machine (location isn't important) called "Netlogon". The name must be as shown.
- Share this new directory, also with the name "netlogon" and give the share Read only permissions to everyone.
- Place your login script in to this new folder, along with any other executables you have used, such as "ifmember".
- Open Computer Management (Control Panel, Administrative Tools) and click on the "User Manager" item.
- Use this local User Manager to create a new local user for your machine.
- Modify the properties of the user to add the login script. Just enter the name, for example "login.bat"
- Logout and then then login to your machine with the new user to see if your script works correctly.
If you wish to record a log of the login script, then see Recording Login Scripts Results page.
