This article was previously published under Q148944 SUMMARY
When a site server's properties are set to configure login scripts, and a
user's login script is defined in User Manager for Domains without the
file's extension, Systems Management Server will not modify it.
MORE INFORMATION
If a Systems Management Server site server has been configured to
"Automatically Configure Workstation Login Scripts," the Site Configuration
Manager service will examine each user's profile for a login script. If the
script exists, it will attempt to modify the script so that it calls
Smsls.bat or Smsls.cmd.
NOTE: The Guest and Administrator accounts are skipped in this process.
In User Manager for Domains, under Profile, it is possible to define a
user's login script without an extension, that is, LOGIN," when the actual
executable file is Login.bat. In this situation, the Site Configuration
Manager will not modify the script to call Smsls.bat.
An administrator to can use this aspect of Systems Management Server
control which login scripts are modified.
If an administrator doesn't want a login script to be modified, the
extension cannot be defined for any of the users that use that particular
login script. For instance, if 10 users share a common login script and
only one of them has it defined with the extension, it will be modified.
