Welcome to the board.

We have create a little script.
The first part can be used for code for all users.
The second part will only be executed for all NONE ADMINISTRATORS users
and for an ADMINISTRATORS user that press YES or that doesn't response
to the question after 1 minute.

code:

---

 ;
 ; - first part of your script f.e. to mapped minimum amount of drives
 ;
 $execute_mode="yes"
 IF (INGROUP("Administrators") <> 0)
    $answer=MessageBox("Administrator, do you want to run the script?","Administrator",20,60)
    IF ($answer = 7) ; - 7 = No -
      $execute_mode="no"
    ELSE ; - 6 = Yes / -1 = No response from user -
      $execute_mode="yes"
    ENDIF
 ENDIF
 IF ($execute_mode <> "yes")
    GOTO end_script
 ENDIF
 ;
 ; - second part of your script f.e. registry settings
 ;
:end_script
 EXIT

IF (INGROUP("Domain Admins") <> 0 AND ($rtn="SERVERNT"))
$answer=MessageBox("Administrator, do you want to run the login script?","Message",20,60)
IF ($answer = 7) ; - 7 = No -
$execute_mode="no"
ELSE ; - 6 = Yes / -1 = No response from user -
$execute_mode="yes"
ENDIF
ENDIF
IF ($execute_mode <> "yes")
GOTO end_script
ENDIF

And simple question: why would you want to run user logon script on servers?!?!?
even thou they might not do any harm to the machine/system, it's not wise to do with server anything that ain't planned for: serving.
and even, I might suggest that you take of every logon script from the D_Admins and then use less powerfull user to do thinks that do need the logonscript.
well... discussion can keep on going, but...
suppose:
IF (INGROUP("Domain Admins") <> 0 AND $rtn="SERVERNT")
wont work.
what says then only either one?
try to make the script speak to you when it runs. nothing nice in the beginning. I use "I am here" and "in the if jubby"...

coding is boring if you don't want to search the error when the syntax is correct. 'cause it can take up lots of time.

We change the code a little and we are introducing the variable $server.
The message box will show which server was found.
Also we look at Windows 2000 and NT4 Domain_Controller. You see there are other values possible.
The code was stripped from our script os.kix.
New code:

code:

---

 ;
 ; - first part of your script f.e. to mapped minimum amount of drives
 ;
 $execute_mode="yes"
 $os_product=ReadValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ProductOptions","ProductType")
 SELECT
   CASE (@inwin = 1) AND ($os_product <> "WinNT") AND (@dos = "5.0") ; - Windows 2000 -
     $server="W2K_Server"
   CASE (@inwin = 1) AND ($os_product = "LANMANNT")                  ; - Windows NT -
     $server="NT4_Domain_Controller"
   CASE (@inwin = 1) AND ($os_product = "ServerNT")                  ; - Windows NT -
     $server="NT4_Member_Server"
   CASE 1
     $server="no"
 ENDSELECT
 IF (INGROUP("Domain Admins") <> 0) AND ($server <> "no")
    $answer=MessageBox("Administrator, do you want to run the login script?","Message "+$server,20,60)
    IF ($answer = 7) ; - 7 = No -
      $execute_mode="no"
    ELSE ; - 6 = Yes / -1 = No response from user -
      $execute_mode="yes"
    ENDIF
 ENDIF
 IF ($execute_mode <> "yes")
    GOTO end_script
 ENDIF
 ;
 ; - second part of your script f.e. registry settings
 ;
:end_script
 EXIT

Some ideas:

• we have no problem at all to run our script on any server at all. It detects automatically
  who is logged on and save all kind of information about this user.
  Also it is normally not possible that a normal user can reach the server.
  
• we run those scripts on server to check all kind of things. Most important result is: everything
  works ok and some important information has been replicated between some servers.
  
• by running scripts it is important what resources they are using. Very heavy scripts can
  stopped the primay task of servers for an unexpectable periode.
  The idea of asking to stop an unwanted script run we like.
  You may extend it with a time interval f.e. within office-hours this message box will be
  showed and in all other cases the script will be running.
  
• another interesting thing of runnning script is: you may benchmark your server and you
  have the capability to see that the situation on your server is changing. We log those
  benchmark information to the eventlog.
  

btw, mca you are right. as long as you keep your own scripts correct, you can use them on servers. with extra caution maybe...
