Does anyone know how to determine if a user is connected via Dial-Up Networking with the NT logon script? The Reason: I need to push out several large updates to my users via the NT logon script and since these updates are too large for a modem to handle I want to skip the DUN modem users and only hit LAN/WAN users. I have looked through the resource kit to no avail... Any tips would be appreciated.

HI,
There is an option called "CHECKRAS" - from memory this is an EXE that you can call however it only works if the machine the script gets run from is also the machine that acts as the dial-up server.
Personally I had the same problem in our enterprise of 15 servers where our dial-up is VPN. Therefore I actually call a simply DOS IPCONFIG command, pipe it through a FIND command and search for 192.168 (ie: B-class IP of dial-up users) and if this text is found, end the login script.
Personally I think it is a bit crude, however I couldn't find a better solution and it has worked everytime without fail.
Cheers.
