HOW to assign a Logon Script to a Profile for a Local User in Windows 2003

How to Assign a Logon Script to a User's Profile

1. Click the Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Computer Management.
2. In the console tree, expand Local Users and Groups, and then click Users.
3. In the right pane, right-click the user account that you want, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Profile tab.
5. In the Logon script box, type the file name (and the relative path, if necessary) of the logon script.

NOTE: If the logon script is stored in a subfolder of the default logon script path, put the relative path to that folder in front of the file name. For example, if the Startup.bat logon script is stored in \\ComputerName\Netlogon\FolderName, type FolderName\Startup.bat.
6. Click Apply, and then click OK.
NOTES:
Logon scripts that are stored on the local computer apply only to users who log on to who local computer.
Local logon scripts must be stored in a shared folder that uses the share name of Netlogon, or be stored in subfolders of the Netlogon folder.
The default location for local logon scripts is the Systemroot\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts folder. This folder is not created on a new installation of Windows. Therefore, the SystemRoot\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts folder must be created and shared out by using the Netlogon share name.
If you do not want to create the Netlogon share in the default location, put the logon script in any folder that the user can access during logon, and then share this folder.
