Here's my script TS login script to setup users. It takes a lot of ideas from the original post, but is a little more simple for those who might be old school.
REM ************************************************************************
REM MAP USER DRIVES
REM ************************************************************************
if exist "d:\users\%username%\winpoint\" goto mapdrive
md "d:\users\%username%\winpoint\"
REM ************************************************************************
REM map local user dir to W drive
REM ************************************************************************
:mapdrive
subst w: /d
subst w: "d:\users\%username%\winpoint"
REM ************************************************************************
REM check if upgrade is required
REM ************************************************************************
if exist W:\06-07-06.TXT GOTO INIFILES
set session=%sessionname%
msg %session% /TIME:20 /V "Upgrading to latest version of Point. Please wait patiently. Thanks and have a greatday!"
REM ************************************************************************
REM copy winpoint files over
REM ************************************************************************
XCOPY c:\zWINPOINT_BAK "d:\users\%username%\winpoint\" /e /s /y /r
REM ************************************************************************
REM CHECK WHICH WINPOINT.INI TO ASSIGN
REM ************************************************************************
:INIFILES
ifmember.exe /v /l UFG\MultiPointUsers
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO MANAGERS
:LONGBEACH
xcopy d:\users\ini_files\winpoint.ini "%userprofile%\windows\" /y
GOTO END
:MANAGERS
xcopy d:\users\ini_files\managers\winpoint.ini "%userprofile%\windows\" /y
rem update desktop shortcut
rem del "%userprofile%\desktop\point.lnk" /q
rem xcopy "c:\program files\calyx software\point.lnk" "%userprofile%\desktop" /y
:END
rem EXIT
Has anyone been able to get this to work? I get error messges when I try to run it. This should be saved as a *.vbs file, right?

| | Where exactly can you assign that trust? In the .net security it shows zones but not how to adjust down to the file level Ben |

| | Hi all, We've not implemented the scripts listed here, but have used the various postings to allow all to operate under individual winpoint folders- beginning today. We had a problem in the past regarding remembered passwords when ordering credit...IE the ID and password was from the last person who ordered credit. Will this now be individual per user? Thanks! |

We had this same problem before do it this way. This is no longer a problem for us now. Users report that is now remembers their username and password.

Most of the scripts are VBscript. My main login script is a BAT file that calls the VBS files. Is there a paticular script that isn't working or confusing (as the all are  )? I haven't re-tooled for awhile. Maybe in the next week or so I'll try to comment, retool my installation instructions so they are a little more generic. First, I would like to thank you for you efforts and for posting this information for the public. I have everthing working more or less the way it should, although I haven't implemented any updates yet. I would like to ask a question before this has to happen. How do you implement the bat and the scripts together? I have the scripts in the sysvol\domain\scripts folder on the PDC. I point the user accounts for point into this location from the user profile/profile path. They run automatically but I can't seem to quite get the bat file part of the proccess to work right. What is the syntax for calling a script from a bat file? Does the call command work? Thanks in advance for the help, Jack |

| | Maybe I'm over simpifying a little and someone please correct me if I'm wrong. What I did is this: 1. Created a batch file using the subst command, setting the %userprofile% to the drive letter w:. 2. Created appropriate users and groups in AD for my uses. I set the logon script to the previously created batch file. I add each user to the administrators group (I know there must be an easier way), this is to enable Point to install properly. 3. Install Point using the administrative installation on the TS (Windows 2003 Server). 4. Set the client install location to w:\winpoint, which is the subst command of %userprofile%\winpoint. This installs Point to the users profile in the winpoint sub-folder. 5. I logon to TS with each users credentials and install Point using the "netsetup" folder from the local drive not the network share. 6. After installing Point, I remove this user from the administrator's group. I am done at this point. If any one knows of a reason why this won't work please explain. For the present, only 5 users will be accessing Point so that is not an issue. The only thing I noticed is if you update Point before installing a new client you must update this install manually by setting the count -1 in this users winpoint.ini file (located in %userprofile%\windows) (again I know there must be an easier way). Is there a way to apply the updates to the "netsetup" folder that updates the files and therefore the individual does not have to update? Why is there not a way to apply this update to new clients without manually applying the update? Is it supposed to work that way? To add to this, the way this is setup it would work the same on individual PC's as long as the logon script is set to the batch file. |
