Windows NT Login Script Capabilities
------------------------------------

Login Scripts:

	You can set each user to have a login script which is run when the user
	logs on. This is typically a .BAT batch file. For example, you may wish
	to reestablish connections (mappings) to resources here with the 
	NET USE command.

	You set this from the User Manager. You cannot set a login script for
	a group, but the User Manager tool allows you to select all users 
	in a group and then you can set them all to have the same login script.
	Use the 'Select Users' menu item to select the users in a group, and
	then to set the actual script, go to User Properties Dialog, Profiles 
	Button.


User Profiles:

	You can set each user to have either a user modifiable or a read only
	profile. The profile represents the 'state' of the desktop for the user,
        including groups, what connections to restore, etc. This is independent
	of any connections made by NT's logon scripts.

	To create the profile, use UPEDIT.EXE and then save it as a .USR file
	for user modifiable profile, or .MAN file for a mandatory read only 
	profile.

	Then from user manager, set the profiles for the users. The same
	group restriction as Login Scripts apply. You cannot set it for a
	group, but the User Manager tool allows you to set for all users in
	a group. Only Advanced Servers allows you to set User Profiles. 

        If you do NOT specify a user to use a named profile, that user 
	will have his own profile on any machine he logs on to. Ie, he will 
	still have persistent state, but it will be one per machine. This is
	the default when users are created.


Reestablishing network connections
----------------------------------

	As indicated above, the user's profile includes what connections to
	reestablish. To make a connection permanent, check the 'Restore at
	Logon' checkbox when making the connection from File Manager. If using
	the cmdline, make sure the PERSISTENT switch is on:

		NET USE /PERSISTENT:YES

	Administrator defined logon scripts can also be used in addition to the
	above. 

	User modifiable profiles gives users the most flexibility, while logon
	scripts and mandatory profiles give the supervisor the most control.
