1 <samba:parameter name="logon script"
4 xmlns:samba="http://www.samba.org/samba/DTD/samba-doc">
7 This parameter specifies the batch file (<filename>.bat</filename>) or NT command file
8 (<filename>.cmd</filename>) to be downloaded and run on a machine when a user successfully logs in. The file
9 must contain the DOS style CR/LF line endings. Using a DOS-style editor to create the file is recommended.
13 The script must be a relative path to the <smbconfsection name="[netlogon]"/> service. If the [netlogon]
14 service specifies a <smbconfoption name="path"/> of <filename
15 moreinfo="none">/usr/local/samba/netlogon</filename>, and <smbconfoption name="logon
16 script">STARTUP.BAT</smbconfoption>, then the file that will be downloaded is:
18 /usr/local/samba/netlogon/STARTUP.BAT
23 The contents of the batch file are entirely your choice. A suggested command would be to add <command
24 moreinfo="none">NET TIME \\SERVER /SET /YES</command>, to force every machine to synchronize clocks with the
25 same time server. Another use would be to add <command moreinfo="none">NET USE U: \\SERVER\UTILS</command>
26 for commonly used utilities, or
28 <userinput>NET USE Q: \\SERVER\ISO9001_QA</userinput>
34 Note that it is particularly important not to allow write access to the [netlogon] share, or to grant users
35 write permission on the batch files in a secure environment, as this would allow the batch files to be
36 arbitrarily modified and security to be breached.
40 This option takes the standard substitutions, allowing you to have separate logon scripts for each user or
45 This option is only useful if Samba is set up as a logon server in a classic domain controller role.
46 If Samba is set up as an Active Directory domain controller, LDAP attribute <filename moreinfo="none">scriptPath</filename>
47 is used instead. For configurations where <smbconfoption name="passdb backend">ldapsam</smbconfoption> is in use,
48 this option only defines a default value in case LDAP attribute <filename moreinfo="none">sambaLogonScript</filename>
