I have a batch-file (*.bat) which logon the client to our server, including printer and drive mappings. Now I want to replace the batch-file with a script for the windows scripting host, because I want the users to enter their username and password, and then the script should make the mappings suitable to the username... I lookd for the WSH and VBSCRIPT and JSCRIPT, but I didn't get any usable information! Is it possible, to write such a script? Or does the WSH not support this feature? Thanks and greetings, Christian.

Note that you can pick up the current user name like this: Set objWshNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network") strCurrentLoggedInUser = objWshNet.UserName WScript.Echo strCurrentLoggedInUser You can also from your vbscript use the Internet Explorer object to ask for and mask password input, take a look here: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=3EB7E661.7D857459%40hydro.com The script in the link above requires IE 5.5+, if you want the script to work on IE 5.01 as well, remove the following two lines (this will re-enable right-click menu on the dialog): & " onContextmenu='window.event.cancelbubble=true" _ & ":window.event.returnvalue=false'" _ If you have Win98 or WinME computers, this might be relevant for the PasswordBox routine in the link above: http://groups.google.com/groups?threadm=e3496be5.0309162049.6c28474e%40posting.google.com WSH 5.6 documentation (local help file) can be downloaded from here if you haven't got it already: http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/list/webdev.asp -- torgeir, Microsoft MVP Scripting and WMI, Porsgrunn Norway Administration scripting examples and an ONLINE version of the 1328 page Scripting Guide: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/default.mspx Reply to this message...        Christian-Josef Schrattenthaler "Torgeir Bakken (MVP)" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:Click here to reveal e-mail address... [Original message clipped] I know InputBox, but I can only ask for one. It is not possible to create a windows which asks for the username and the password. Or do you have a hint, how this works?

[Original message clipped] And another approach is to use HTML application (HTA). Reply to this message...        Jared Pardon me, but, am I missing something? Your users have just authenticated to your domain, and now, you want them to supply their credentials all over again just to map their drives and printers? In my opinion this should be transparent to the end user. You can use WSH to get the username of the currently logged on user, use that to map as desired. I would hate to work in your company, logging in twice??? "Welman Jordan" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address...
