Please could you help me, I need to know how I can add a login script to selected users only. That is this procedure is only needed for a department students only not for every users account. Could you help me write a batch file that will add this login script call (student.bat) to a group of students only (selected). It doesn't apply to every student. Thank you

Hi, You Don't need to write any spetial scripts , it's much easier . If you work with NT4 : open User Manager for Domains ( usrmgr.exe ), select users holding ctrl key ,press properties and write the name of your login script batch file under Profile . Of course you need to put the file to \WINNT\system32\Repl\Import\Scripts on your Domain controller first . If you work with Active Directory ( windows2000 domain ): Create Organization unit called for exsample "Students " .Move selected users to this OU . Right click on OU you created ,Properties , Group Policy ,New , Under user Configuration go to windows settings \scripts \logon add your script ,wait for 5 min to be sure that information between your domains was replicated ,tell users to logout and login again . That's all folks .

If you have the usernames in a list you can paste them into the 2nd column of a spreadsheet, add NET USER all the way down the column before and /scriptpath:student.bat down the column after. Save as a comma delimited text file and then open it in notepad. do a find replace , with a space and then save as a batch file. Run the batch file on one of you DC's. It's usually worth running your batch file so it outputs to a log so you can easily check it all went OK. NET USER username /scriptpath:student.bat
