I create all logon script on the fly from ldap. I created a little schema
with a script attribute and there I put all DOS-batch commands. At logon
time (preexec in [netlogon]) for every user all script-parts for the
groups the user belongs to, the room-script (rooms associate to IPs) for
the printer connection and at last the script from the user-entry if there
is any script attribute are taken from ldap. It doesn't take much CPU
power and works since half a year without any faults.
I anything does not work ("Can't print!") I can still examine the batch-file.
