Chapter 11. Configur ation
Warning
If you have a Windows NT server or Windows 2000 server on your network that is functioning as a network server, you should most likely answer "no" because that other server will act as the domain master.
If you do configure your system to be the domain master, a special Windows share called NETLOGON is created with a DOS batch file called netlogon.bat. This batch file is executed by Windows clients that have been configured to "Logon to domain". The netlogon.bat file we provide by default does very little, but advanced users can, if they wish, modify this script to set environment variables for their clients or provide automatic drive mappings.
As the NETLOGON share is only writable by the "admin" user, you modify the netlogon.bat script by logging on to a Windows system as "admin", connecting to the share and then modifying the script using a Windows text editor. Be aware that the NETLOGON share will not be visible in Network Neighborhood or other similar tools. As the "admin" user, you will need to connect to the share or map a drive to it, by using the specific path:
\\servername\NETLOGON\
The sample file contains a few examples of setting the system time for each machine and also for mapping a common drive for all Windows client.
