Running Script Files with Windows for Workgroups (99644)
This article was previously published under Q99644
SUMMARY
When running Windows for Workgroups, you can specify the domain you log
on to. During the logon process, WFWG logs you on to that domain and runs
the logon script in an MS-DOS box, but if you log on at the MS-DOS command
prompt, WFWG loads the real mode redirector and the real mode NetBEUI
protocol. This logs you on to the WFWG workstation only, not on to the LAN
Manager domain, and the logon script will not run.
MORE INFORMATION
WFWG uses share-level security, information for which is saved in a file
named USERNAME.PWL (for example, JIM.PWL). Because WFWG doesn't support
centralized logon authority, it saves the information about the persistent
connection in a file named SHARES.PWL. The NET LOGON command at the MS-DOS
prompt simply establishes a local user ID and password. It establishes the
persistent connection as defined in SHARES.PWL.
