Is there a way make the NComputing box run a script on logon?  What I want to do is run a script to map printers when the person logs on or connects to the server.  All the Ncomputing boxs connect to the same server but the script is going to be different for each NComputing box since each box is in a different part of the school and is going to be printing to a different printer so I can't put the script in the startup folder in XP.

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to accomplish. If all you want is for everyone to have their own default printer, then they should just make that their default printer in their user ID. If I set my default printer to be my remote HP at night, the next morning after a re-boot, that is still my default printer.

What OS are you using?

I'm using XP. What I wanted to do is have a server in my office that has the NComputing server software installed on it. Then, throughout the school, I'll have around 6 of the NComputing boxes setup. Those 6 boxes are all going to be in different rooms and have their own printer to print to. I was wondering if there was a way to have each NComputing box run a script I made to map the printer.

You have given each person signing on their own user ID right? No need to run a script.

No there are to many people logging into the computers to give each person their own user ID. Is there a way to set the NComputing box to log onto the computer with a local username that I create on the computer? If there is I can just put the script in the local users profile.

For the x300 server software there is a section in the software where the user can specify run this program only during Logon (http://www.ncomputing.com/Support/Knowledgebase/tabid/106/language/en-US/Default.aspx). Does anybody know if this option is not available with the L230? I can't seem to find it anyplace.

Now maybe I am just missing some important bit of information, but to me you seem to making this more complex than necessary.  Since there will be "too many people logging into the computers to give each person their own user ID"  Then this is not necessarily a completely secure connection login.  So just make users like "office" and "boardroom".  Then the default printer for each login can be the printer at that location.
