CHAPTER 5: AUTHENTICATION DEPLOYMENT ACTIVATE AUTHENTICATION ON THE NETWORK

Activate NT authentication

After testing the NET USE command, the next step is to add the NET USE command to users’ login scripts. We recom- mend that you add the 3-try login script to the existing domain login script.

The 3-try login script is used for attempting to log in the user to the authentication server in three separate attempts, in case of a login failure.

Step 1: Modify the 3-try login script

Place a copy of the 3-try login script in the netlogon folder on your Domain Controller. Note that this sample script should be modified to use your own Virtual IP address instead of the IP address (192.168.0.20) in the sample script. This script lets users be re-authenticated from the block page without re-running the whole domain login script.

The script is as follows:

echo off :start cls

net use \\192.168.0.20\r3000$ /delete

:try1

echo "Running net use..."

net use \\192.168.0.20\r3000$ if errorlevel 1 goto :try2

if errorlevel 0 echo code 0: Success goto :end

:try2

echo Running net use...

net use \\192.168.0.20\r3000$ if errorlevel 1 goto :try3
