Easier and more flexible is the Kixtart scripting language. Find this at http://www.kixtart.org. I learned it in about 2 hours, basically.

Is it possible to execute also a "machine script" (for installing software etc.), and "group script" (users belonging to a certain group should have specific settings applied)? You can dynamically generate the script on the server if you're crafty with the prelogon parameters. I attach one to the profile share (since the client hits that before netlogon) and generate the script based on the user's group membership as returned by the groups command on the server side. You can find my posting on it in the archives. The machine part could probably be done as well under my setup, since all you're doing is passing parameters to a perl script. Actually installing software could be a little dicey however, since you have to worry about user permissions and such, but you can always check if the user has admin privileges with ifmember or something similar. And then there's 3rd party tools, which I won't comment on out of ignorance on their operation. -- -- Paul GiengerOffice: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.

I don't know of any specific mechanisim to do this, but you might be able to do some of it with just the batch files. For example, in your %U.bat you could call another batch file with %COMPUTERNAME%.bat. I'm not sure how to solve the group problem, though. I'm not aware of a mechanisim to retrieve the users group from the command line. You may be able to do this by using visual basic logon scripts, but that's beyond my capabilities, sorry.
