JSI Tip 4215. How do I hide the logon script window on 'all' clients?

If you have a mix of Windows NT clients (Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Windows XP), tip 0438 can be used to hide the logon script window.

Using Workstation.bat, I have scripted HideLogonWindow.bat to automate the process. The usage syntax is:

HideLogonWindow Domain Account Password LogonScript PDC \[DC1 DC2 ... DCn\]

where:

Domain	See Workstation.bat
Account	See Workstation.bat
Password	See Workstation.bat
LogonScript	The logon script name, such as logon.bat.
PDC	The Computer Name of the PDC.
DC(s)	A list of additional domain controller names.

HideLogonWindow.bat logs it's activity at \\PDC\NETLOGON\hidelogon.log.

HideLogonWindow.bat contains:

@echo off
setlocal
If \{%5\} EQU \{\} goto syntax
set domain=%1
set account=%2
set pw=%3
set logon=%4
set logon=%logon:"=%
set wrk=%5
set wrk=\\%wrk:"=%\NETLOGON@echo REGEDIT4>%wrk%hidelogon.reg
@echo.>>%wrk%hidelogon.reg

if \{%1\} EQU \{\} goto apply
