This is my loging script it work great. BUT i want to run a .bat file also (this is the batch file name update.bat).Any ideas? I'm using server 2003 and everyone has xp. How can i run a batch file during login?

Thank You in advance.


Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server name\printer name"
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server name\printer name"


On Error Resume Next
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "G:" , "\\server name\folder name"

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "I:" , "\\server name\folder name" & "\" & objNetwork.UserName

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "Z:" , "\\server name\folder name"

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "S:" , "\\server name\folder name" & "\" & objNetwork.UserName




Wscript.Quit


:cry

 

I usually end up translating bat files into scripts, but I often use Wscript.shell's run or exec command to run them. In VBScript, this would be

Code:

Set WSHShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WSHShell.Run ("c:\startup.bat")

There are other parameters for these commands to run the script in the background, for instance

Code:

WSHShell.Run "startup.bat",0,true

will run in background (the 0 does this, or you can use vbhide instead) and the last true/false tells whether to wait for the command to finish before continuing the script.

I've also heard this will work:

Code:

shell "c:\thebatchfile.bat",0

 

Could you tell me where would I but this on my script. (Set WSHShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WSHShell.Run ("c:\startup.bat"))?




Set WSHShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WSHShell.Run ("c:\startup.bat")
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server name\printer name"
objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\server name\printer name"


On Error Resume Next
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "G:" , "\\server name\folder name"

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "I:" , "\\server name\folder name" & "\" & objNetwork.UserName

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "Z:" , "\\server name\folder name"

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "S:" , "\\server name\folder name" & "\" & objNetwork.UserName

My batch file is located in a difrent server also \\server name\folder name\update.bat How can i put this on my script. Thank You

 

To access the different server, just use "\\server name\folder name\update.bat" instead of "C:\update.bat". You place the WSHShell.run command in the position you want the bat file to run. The set WSHShell command should go somewhere before it. The Wscript.shell also has other things I use, so I usually place that set statement very near the top to prepare for the rest of the script. I think you could merge them into

Code:

CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run("\\server name\folder name\update.bat",0)

or use the shell command

Code:

shell "\\server name\folder name\update.bat",0

if you don't want to use set. If you want, you can include a third parameter of true to have the script wait for the batch file to finish. A false value, which is the default, will have it run the batch file as a separate process, and keep running the script at the same time the batch file is running.
