Write a .bat file that pulls a boot.ini through a share?

  1. Create your new boot.ini
  2. Create a share folder

  3. Create a .bat file that looks like ...

    @echo off
net use Z: \\ComputerName\ShareName /persistent:no
copy Z:\boot.ini C:\ /Y

Then make add it to the login scripts GPO.

This isn't perfect. As it will run every time a user logs in ...

Net Use

If this works, that means your users have "Administrator" rights, and that's not the right way to be doing things. You should be doing this in a "Startup Script", and you don't need the "drive" "mapping"-- you can copy from a UNC path just fine. – Evan Anderson Jun 19 '09 at 12:20
