[Samba] Samba login scripts

[Bob Crandell]

Hi,

The login script is just a DOS batch file.  Login as Administrator, browse to
//server/netlogon and create/edit users.bat with Notepad or Windows Write.
Make sure you save it as plain text.

This is part of mine:

REM Clear previous mappings if present.
NET USE * /DEL /YES
REM Set the workstation's time.
NET TIME \\server /SET /YES
REM Map the user's home directory.
NET USE H: \\server\home

I hope this gets you started.
