How does the SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat get into the user properties
In a new install of SBS 2K3, when you create a user, usig one of the preconfigured templates, the user profile login script box has SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat in it...
where does that come from?! If you look at the user template, it's not there. I thought that was the point of the template - to have fields filled in already with info. But when I look at the template, that field is blank.

but how does that file name get inserted into the user properties?! it's not in the user template.
and a similar note - how do you se tthe default user profile path the \\server\profiles\%usernam
The one entry in the script is that setup file. Does that need to be there all the time or can you rem it out? The initial apps get installed the first time. It seems to be creating the message about the user not having rights to do installs.

your quote: just make sure user is a local admin on their computer.
doesn't that open them up to getting spyware / malware? I thought you are supposed to lock them down and make them just a user? But yeah, then you can't push apps out to them?
I am coming from a workgroup mindset and very eagerly looking to not have to go to each desktop to tweak things - I was thinking domains free you from most / all of that, but am getting dienchanted with seeing htat isn't the case?! OK, you can remote desktop to each PC with the server management apps, but still...

The default bat file insures that when you connect a client computer that all of its specified client applications are installed and updated. In addition it does check a few things to insure they are applied via the GPO.
