Where do U select in win 2000 server ACTIVE DIR USER to change 20 or 30 users properties to use a specify logon script

I have got 615 users

Excample: 50 is using the default logon u specify -------- fine no problem!!!
15 is using the default logon and maybe 2 extra different map drive.

50 users - DEFAULT SCRIPT
net use i: \\server\folder1
net use j: \\server\folder2
net use k: \\server\folder3
net use l: \\server\folder4
net use m: \\server\folder5

15 users - DEFAULT SCRIPT + extra different map drive

net use i: \\server\folder1
net use j: \\server\folder2
net use k: \\server\folder3
net use l: \\server\folder4

net use m: \\server\folder6
net use n: \\server\folder7


Now I want select the 10 0r 15 users and PROPERTIES is Gone and you cant select PROFILE - LOGON SCRIPT - test.bat


ITS PISS on WIN NT 4

>In Usermanager For Domains, hold down the control key while you select the
>individual users, and double click on the last one. When the "User
>properties" box opens, click Profile. When you enter the name of the logon
>script, it puts the logon script in every users profile that you
>highlighted

To my knowledge you can't select multiple users and change the properties of those user in win2k, but whi i would advice is to create and configure one user then copy it to the others. This if i understood your problem right. Let me now.

I miss that too in Win2k, it was so usefull in NT. There are a few ways you can do it

Create a bunch of different scripts doing what you need it to do for each group of users

1) find a copy of usrmgr.exe from an NT4 server and copy it to the wk server (I think that this works) and you should be able to do a multiple select.

2) Use net users command and create a batch script to edit the script section of the user profile. There is an article on the MS knolwedgebase somewhere on switches you need to use.

3) The proper way is to do it is to create an OU for each group of users and assign a GPO for each group. Within the GPO assign the correct logon script for each set of users.
