WARNING: This post is outdated, and it has been for many years. I very strongly discourage you from using this for any purpose whatsoever. I’m aware that this is still in use in some environments, and works, but there are others ways of accomplishing the same thing that are generally faster and far less error-prone.

Years ago (Windows XP era?), I wrote a “standard” login script for my employer. Features:

Known problems:

group_applications.tab group_drivemappings.tab group_printers.tab printer_migrations.tab standard.vbs

You’ll need to review each of the files, to customize them for your environment. Standard.vbs does the work, and just references the other files. “my.full.domain.name” means the FQDN of your domain, not a server or domain controller. “MYNETBIOSDOMAINNAME” means the NETBIOS short name of your domain. Unfortunately, I didn’t take the time to comment the script very well… feel free to email me if you have any questions (andrew@ the domain this page is served by). Please also let me know of any changes you make to this login script, or just if you’re using it. Share the wealth. :)
