Hello,<br />
<br />
I currently use login scripts that map drives, message box, set time, &nbsp;if group use, and printers. I am looking for the best way to accomplish this within Server 2012. What is the most efficient way to use login scripts or is it called something else within Server 2012? Within ADUC I set login .bat/.kix. I have a lot of scripts predefined located in sysvol and it has been working fine. I just don't know what is the new way on doing this.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

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.
