If you are you might be able to use the methodology I employ for my corporate logonscript. It calls subscripts based on the clients location in the OU hierarchy. All of your clients will execute the same base script called from a batch file. The core script then looks at the clients DN and then makes directory paths from the DN. You can place any scripts you want to execute in a directory structure that mimics the OU hierchy and have different scripts execute for different users.

Ok as a test I removed the comments for that script to run.

code:

Break ON
; uncomment the next line to step through the code
; DEBUG ON
; Example of LDAP call.  GetObject("LDAP://ou=Users,ou=YourBusinessUnit,dc=YourCompany,dc=com")
; You need to know your LDAP connection.  You can maybe find it by checking the propery details on the OU for your users.
$target = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Test,OU=Information Systems,OU=AdminBldg,DC=sussexcounty,DC=net")
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
$loginscript="logon.bat"
For Each $user in $target
  If $user.loginscript <> $loginscript
    ? "Current Script for " +$user.name " is: " +$user.loginscript+ " Should be: " +$loginscript
    $user.loginscript=$loginscript  ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat. 
     ? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
    $user.SetInfo    ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat. 
     ? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
     ? "Changed current Script for " +$user.name " to: " +$user.loginscript
  EndIf
Next

I have it going to the Test OU in which there are 2 users, currently that have no logon script setup. If I run this with the comments removed are you saying it will automatically assign the logon.bat to those 2 user's profile?

The DC chosen by the script to update the user account may not be the same DC to which your GUI is connected. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Error = 0 - The operation completed successfully.
C:\WINDOWS>

That's all it says.
This is the code I am running.

code:

Break ON
; uncomment the next line to step through the code
; Debug ON
; Example of LDAP call.  GetObject("LDAP://ou=Users,ou=YourBusinessUnit,dc=YourCompany,dc=com")
; You need to know your LDAP connection.  You can maybe find it by checking the propery details on the OU for your users.
$target = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Test,OU=Information Systems,OU=AdminBldg,DC=sussexcounty,DC=net")
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
$loginscript="logon.bat"
For Each $user in $target
  If $user.loginscript <> $loginscript
    ? "Current Script for " +$user.name " is: " +$user.loginscript+ " Should be: " +$loginscript
    $user.loginscript=$loginscript  ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat. 
     ? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
    $user.SetInfo    ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat. 
     ? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
     ? "Changed current Script for " +$user.name " to: " +$user.loginscript

You might want to learn how to modify your script so that it prints more info. Try this:

code:

Break ON
; uncomment the next line to step through the code
; Debug ON
; Example of LDAP call.  GetObject("LDAP://ou=Users,ou=YourBusinessUnit,dc=YourCompany,dc=com")
; You need to know your LDAP connection.  You can maybe find it by checking the propery details on the OU for your users.
$target = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Test,OU=Information Systems,OU=AdminBldg,DC=sussexcounty,DC=net")
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
$loginscript="logon.bat"
For Each $user in $target
  ? 'checking user: '+$user.name
  ? 'assigned login script: '+$user.loginscript 
  If $user.loginscript <> $loginscript
    ? "Current Script for " +$user.name " is: " +$user.loginscript+ " Should be: " +$loginscript
    $user.loginscript=$loginscript  ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat. 
     ? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
    $user.SetInfo    ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat. 
     ? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
     ? "Changed current Script for " +$user.name " to: " +$user.loginscript
  EndIf
Next
? 'If no user was displayed, then no user was retrieved from the OU'

I am using the latest posted script

See:

code:

Break ON
; uncomment the next line to step through the code
; Debug ON
; Example of LDAP call.  GetObject("LDAP://ou=Users,ou=YourBusinessUnit,dc=YourCompany,dc=com")
; You need to know your LDAP connection.  You can maybe find it by checking the propery details on the OU for your users.
$target = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Test,OU=Information Systems,OU=AdminBldg,DC=sussexcounty,DC=net")
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
$loginscript="logon.bat"
For Each $user in $target
  ? 'checking user: '+$user.name
  ? 'assigned logins cript: '+$user.loginscript 
  If $user.loginscript <> $loginscript
    ? "Current Script for " +$user.name " is: " +$user.loginscript+ " Should be: " +$loginscript
    $user.loginscript=$loginscript  ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat. 
     ? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
    $user.SetInfo    ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat. 
     ? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
     ? "Changed current Script for " +$user.name " to: " +$user.loginscript

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11164 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	Then something seems wrong as it should also display the line 'Assigned login script' for ech user, which it doesn't. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.
