Hi Nick,
It's easy to have application specific login scripting. Provided we're
talking about published apps that is.
The trick is to design the scripting so that it's solid and still
flexible. i.e. nobody can break it.
The first step is to use a VB script (mfcom) or utility to find out the
published application name.
Then you hack up a script that looks up the published application name
and checks to see if there's a folder in a global configuration area (eg
netlogon\ctxconfig) with the same name as the published app.
If the dir exists AND theres a runme.cmd or runme.vbs script in the
directory, run it.
This way you never have to touch the script, just create a folder with
the right name and drop a script in it.
It's fast, simple and reliable.
Regards,
Rick

Subject: [THIN] Mapping a network drive on an application basis
Hi All
Is there an easy method by which to map a network drive on a per
application basis
I used to simply add a logon script for each user however this is
becoming quite cumbersome as numerous users have access to multiple
applications and i dont want to slow down their login process while
waiting for 10 drives to map when the session may only use one of these
maps
I tried using a batch file to start the application itself although the
batch file didnt like UNC paths, and doesnt look very pretty, is there a
nice tidy way to do this, is this my best option?
Thanks Nick
