Logon Script and Symantec Password
-
Hi guys, we have a server here that runs "Windows 2003 server" and our client machines are running "Windows XP Pro". currently we dont have an SMS system but we do have plans to invest in one. However for the meantime, we are trying to use logon scripts to deploy patches, updates and also some standardized settings for the client, okay here is the problem, I'm totally new in this field and im not a pro in scripting, prob some basics just to start off, im a look and learn kind off person..so if anyone could like recommend me an online site which could show some examples of scripts and also be able to teach me. also. this one is a pain, the previous system admin kinda forgot the Symantec Server "options password". Any idea on how i can find out the password using some kind of tool or maybe the registry. thx in advance ASG AS.Gill

If you are new to group policies try to read introduction to group policies in windows server 2003[^] or try to check desktop deployment.[^] MCP

hey Roath!, great job on the reccomendation, the site serves its purpose. as for group policies i'll have to look into that, however im afraid it mite not be what i want. the org here implements a set of their own policies, not what is there by default, but maybe, are we able to add our own policies to the list in group policies? thx in adv.

Not sure on your scripting website but there is an excellent book on WMI publised by Microsoft that talks about various system scripting. As for Symantec, I there there is a password reset tool on the CD. I know I have used one with the Symantec System Console MMC when I forgot a password before. If this is the for the SSC and you can't find it, let me know and I can see if I can locate it. -- modified at 16:40 Sunday 30th October, 2005
