1.  Firstly we need to write the login script. A login script is typically a batch file (.bat extension) that is

a standard ASCII text file, although any executable program (.exe extension) could be used.  In
our example we will use a batch file. Open the Notepad program by clicking on Start, Programs,
Accessories and then Notepad. If the customer already has login scripts enabled this extra entry
to configure the driver can be included in their existing login script.

The entry above will communicate with the server called mercury look in the netlogon shared
directory (WinRoot\system32\repl\import\scripts) and then merge the already exported configured
registry branch named configured507pcl5e.reg (Refer to NIS Bulletin 043 Extracting Printer
Configuration by using the Windows Registry & Export Facility for instructions on how to obtain
this file).

2.  A more advanced login script may look like the example below. You can see what each part of the

batch file will do by reading the REM commands.

3.  Once the login script has been written, save it in the WinRoot\system32\repl\import\scripts folder

of the Windows NT4 server as shown below. This is the default shared directory known as the
NETLOGON share. Also make sure that the registry key that you previously exported is copied in
to this folder.
