Logon Script/Terminal Server Logon Script

I have some registry settings that need to be set for
users based on the groups they are assigned to. What is
the best way to accomoplish this? I was think using login
scripts or the logon scripts that are automatically
executed when a user logs on to terminal service. These
two options fit the execution order, but I have not
figured out how to determine which group a user belongs
to.

The settings only need to be set one time, for new users I
have established a default profile with settings, and this
works. For some users, I have used regedt32.exe and
loaded the ntuser.dat and made the changes by hand. Have
several hundred users to modify.

Thanks.

You can use ifmember.exe. It comes with the Win2000 Resource Kit.

ifmember Sales || goto Sales
ifmember HR || goto HR
etc.
 
Thanks for the reply. Outside of the W2K Resource Kit,
and KIX, is there any other way to check group member ship?

Thanks.

Hi Don,

Thanks for your posting here.

You can also try the latest version of whoami.exe in Windows Server 2003.

whoami /groups

Displays group membership for current user, type of account, security
identifiers (SID) and attributes.

For more information, please type "whoami /?" command.

Wish it helps.

Bob,

I was unable to open the attachment. Can you zip it and
rename it to .txt?

Thanks.

Hi Don,

I have attached the whoami.exe tool in my post. Please save it to your hard
disk and copy it to Windows folder or System32 folder.

Have a nice day!
