I have a logon script with is working perfectly, however it doesn't allow the user to input their responses and therefore triggers the timeout that I've built into it. How can I get Windows 7 to display the batch file as it runs - like it used to in the old days. I understand that it's a nicer experience for the user if they can't see the inner workings, but I need them to input information! I therefore either need to display it, or have pop-up boxes to allow them to input data. The code I have so far is below - I have removed the timeout and have used js popups, but they're not displaying. @echo off REM Version 1.6 cls REM set OVERWRITE=OFF for normal functionality REM OVERWRITE=ON will force-overwrite user's signature set OVERWRITE=ON REM sets output log files set FILENAME=done set FILENAME2=log set FILETYPE=csv cls REM this version uses a variable for OS version REM tests if user inputted into database find /c /i "%USERNAME%" "z:\temp\signatures\%FILENAME%.%FILETYPE%" > NUL if %errorlevel% == 0 ( echo FOUND!

Pause exit Any ideas? It works absolutely fine if it is executed manually, just for the login script it doesn't display anything, not a sausage! We're running Exchange 2003 hence the requirement of this and the reluctance to a) install anything on the server and b) buy additional software for a 100-user domain environment.

Hi, What is your script extension? According some feedbacks, I found that .CMD scripts have a hard time running in a domain because of UAC. However .VBS seem to work fine. Also make sure you have set the correct GPO on Server. Regarding the settings on GPO, you can contact Windows Server Forum.
