Configure 4000+ users a logon script

[muppet]

We have a 2000 Active Directory domain but we have a mix of operating systems, including W95 and NT4 which dont recognise group policies.
Does anyone know a good way to enable a logon script for all users??

You can write your logon batch file to check the type of Windows OS they have, then do specific tasks based on that. I think the way we do it is we check if the have a "c:\Windows" or "c:\winnt" folder. If windows, then it's a 95, 98, or ME system. If winnt, then it's either NT4, win2k, or XP.

For us, this will work since we don't have any custom installs where a win2k box might have a windows folder instead of winnt. All out batch scripts do right now though is they map network drives and load the web browser to a news and info page... yes, at every logon, and it is annoying to have the browser open all the time....

i thought XP went back to "Windows" as the main system folder???

i already have the batch file, just need a way to enable it for all users in domain.
cant use group policies as we have a mix of W95, NT4.

You need to install the DS client for Windows 9x from the Server 2000 CD on the Win9x PCs

Then share the C:\Windows\SYSVOL\sysvol\%domainname%\scripts folder as Netlogon

Then place the login script file in this directory

You may also want to make sure the permissions for this folder allows the everyone group to read from this folder in case there is permission issue.
