I have posted here before and am wondering if I am going down a wrong avanue. We are migrating in our company from win NT with Novell server login to a win 2k type network, both have win 98 machines logging into. I need to certain network drives to certain users depending on privledges. I am thinking logon scripts are the way to go, but I don't really know what to do after that. I have tried to create logon scripts that I load on the Win98 machines under the startup folder, which works. Everyone seems to be saying put the login scripts in the 2k machines under the user accounts area. We don't need to map network printers or logon using roaming profiles. The users have their same computers day in/day out so I am thinking that putting the login script in the startup folder on each win98 machine is the way to go. It doesn't need to be elaborate. All the script is:

net use L: \\server\share
net use K: \\server\share

And that seems to be working fine. The only drawback is that the script "black box" doesn't disappear after the script has been run. How can I make the black box close after the script has run? Also, should I save the script somewhere else than startup?

Thank you for any help

Here is a sample of the script we use, and we place it in the user profle in AD. Have all user login scripts in the Sysvol folder on the server. In AD, the name of the folder on Syvol where the script files are located.


net time \\Server /set /yes
net use h: \\newbox\software
net use p: \\Server\public
net use u: \\Server\Kmoss
call "\\Server\netlogon\all.bat"


all.bat is an empty file. You could also probably type in "exit" at the end of the script. Hope this helps some.
