.bat - batch files

[Vini]

im playing, got a .bat that contains

echo 
echo
echo

title <company name>

echo Hello %username%, welcome to the <company> Network

echo You are accessing the network from %computername%

echo PLEASE WAIT, authenticating %username% with the %LANGROUP% domain

net use T: \\server\departments\general

this batch currently runs when i logon to my XP machine, but runs minimized in the bottom left corner, any way to keep it maximised, display the 3 "welcome lines" and then close after say 10 seconds?


also, can batch files run as logon scripts with Active Directory 2003

There's a "run Logon scripts Visible" option in Group policy.
Rename the extension to .cmd - it just makes things easier. Also get rid of all of that crap - just leave the drive mapping command there. The rest is totally pointless

Also I'd recommend using Kixtart. It's a GREAT logon script processor and it's free.
