Login Script

CAPTURE Execution in a Login Script
Login Script Command SET_TIME ON/OFF Behaves Differently on NT
If you use a login script that contains an external CAPTURE command using
CAPTURE.EXE, the screen might go blank with a blinking cursor in the
upper-left corner. The capture eventually executes and the screen returns to
normal.
This happens if Windows NT or Windows 2000 is set to "full screen" when
the CAPTURE command is executed from the login script. Although the
system might be working correctly, a slow server performing the capture with
a blank screen may make it appear otherwise.
To correct this problem, do the following:
1
Double-click My Computer and then click Control Panel > MS-DOS
Console.
2
In the Console Windows Properties dialog box, click the Options tab.
3
From the Display Options group, click Window.
Novell Client for Windows NT/2000/XP Properties > Advanced Settings
contains a Set Station Time property.
When this setting is On, the workstation time is always synchronized with the
network during GINA Login. The login script SET_TIME command has no
effect on time synchronization, because the time is being synchronized before
the script command is processed.
When the setting is Off, the SET_TIME ON script command will have an
effect when scripts are run and the workstation time will be synchronized with
the network.
Windows 2000 and XP both ignore the SET_TIME script command
regardless of the client property setting Set Station Time=On|Off' and update
the time/date to the Netware Server Time/Date at Gina Login only.
Subsequent script executions do not make any difference as the script
command seems to be ignored.
