Hi. I do not think that the old autoexec.bat concept work with Windows 2003
Server. So how do I now implement a command to execute automatically when the
server is restarted, and without having to log into the server???

I have a need to always and automatically have the server run a "ROUTE ADD"
statement from the commmand line.

Thanks,
Manny

Use the Task Scheduler to launch your command at boot time.
 
Re: Autoexec.bat with Windows 2003 Server?

Sorry to be a bother. I am not quite sure how to do this as I am unfamiliar
with Task Scheduler.

I went to START > ALL PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEMS TOOLS > SCHEDULE TASK.

What do I do now? I selected "Command Line" but where/how do I specify my
actual command line of " ROUTE ADD..."???

Thanks again!

Manny

Now that you've solved your problem yourself, note that there
is a Task Scheduler applet in the Control Panel. Much easier
to locate than the path you used before. If you're a server admin
then it will probably be worth your while looking at each and
every applet in the Control Panel. Lots of good stuff there!

Try using the option -P in your route add the should tolerate reboot's and
the route will always be thier
