I have a script similar to what your looking for, but its written in
perl. It's run using "root preexec" in a netlogon share and is executed
when a MS windows user logs on.

I have two different groups of users that need different logon scripts
depending on which unix group they belong to.
Before it does anything, checks to see if the .bat file already exists
so it won't overwrite any customizations done by the user.

I can send you this if your interested.
