Need some tricks to Audit a Domains login scripts
Hi All,
I need to Audit a company's Domain which has for some reason been creating a script for every single user in a /netlogon/users folder.
There is over 1600 .bat files and I was hoping that someone may know of a tool that can process them all and output the differences or something. I imagine that majority of the scripts are the same however they have been using username's instead of a variable %username% etc.
Some users are recieving different paths for drives as well.
Any assistance would be much appreciated
Thanks

use the FC command ( file compare ) or any other similar utility.
You may need to run it in a batch file to go through all the directories to give you results.
I would ask this question in the VB script or the MS DOS TA section since that is where most of the batch/ scripting guys hand out.
I hope this helps !

Along the lines of what sysExpert is saying, I know that Primalscript has a built in comparison feature, but it is limited to 2 files, not 1600. It will tell you which lines are different, etc.
I thought you were stating that it was creating 1600 batch files based on their login scripts...

It could be that everyone has the same base script but that script calls some actions to create new batch files for each user or something similar.
Check there first and report back the login script itself if it is the same for multiple users (the one in the profile tab of their account.
ALSO CHECK GROUP POLICY as well to see if there are login scripts there based on OU and not in their individual user accounts in ADUC. Same thing applies though, look and see if there is a base script out there that everyone runs and track it sequentially from there.
