logon script stealth

[moonlight burner]

Hi guys, how to make commands in 'logon script' invisible to the client when they log on their win95 machines to a NT. 4 server ? (window script)

you can do it with Kixtart logon scripts, along with a thousand other things that you can't easily do with dos batch language.

otherwise, you could run a launcher script that would start your login script minimized with something like "start /m login.bat".

or you could write a little VB wrapper program to hide your commands.

if it's a small environment, I would normally just use a standard script, redirect every command's output to nul, and put in a MOTD, as long as it's short and sweet the users don't get board. what's up, are your users breaking out before the script finishes?

Hello WickedLittleSlaveBoy, no , it isn't that they are breaking up before the script finished. Is because the client pc runs pretty slow(pentium 166-233 MHZ ), such that they can read the script quite clearly, So is sometimes cumbersome to explain to them when they ask 'what is these...".
I 'll check out the tips , thanks !

oh, I see...yeah, then just do like I suggested. redirect your output to nul.

@echo off
net use X: \\server\share > nul

then use the space for some message.

echo Good Morning users, blah blah blah blah
echo blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
echo blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
echo blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
echo blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
echo blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

test.bat

@echo sssssssssss > nul:
@newbat.bat > nul:


then run x.bat > nul:

Just in case

Hi bob and WickedLittleSlaveBoy :) Your 'nul' trick does the 'stealth' job well ! What I did were to run the test.bat as in :

echo off
net time \\server /set /yes > nul
net use h: \\server\postoffice > nul
net use j: \\server\datame > nul
net use s: \\server\sharewoes > nul
net use t: \\server\meetduke > nul

Though I still can see the 'echo off' command when I ran the script .But the rest of the commands were not displayed .Though I don't quite understand what it does.

"@echo sssssssssss > nul:
@newbat.bat > nul:


then run x.bat > nul: " by Bob,"

I did'nt quite inteprete these commands.But anyway...

Thanks ! Someone save my life tonight !
