Hi Experts!<br />
<br />
I have allready made a question in the Windows 2003 server forum but they thought that I should try here instead. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24227482/Custom-shutdown-event-tracker-at-user-log-on-make-user-state-or-type-a-reason.html" rel="ugc nofollow">https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/24227482/Custom-shutdown-event-tracker-at-user-log-on-make-user-state-or-type-a-reason.html</a><br />
<br />
What I want to do is to have something that appears at log in that forces the user to state or type a reason for logging on to the server. My thought was to customize shutdown event tracker that also loggs in the event viewer but the available tools that I konw of doesnt let me customize it the way I want to like the tool cutreasonedit.exe.<br />
<br />
Does anybody in here have any idea how to maybe script this?<br />
<br />
Thanks Jim &nbsp;

Customize shutdown event tracker at user log on, make user state or type a reason

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
