NetLogon Scripting by Domain Controller location

All,

This is a 2003 Domain with seven domain controllers.

I want to write a DOS batch file to check for the existence of our
anti-virus application and if it does not exist to install it from the
Netlogon based on which domain controller they are logging into. This way I
can run it for each region after we have pushed from the Anti-Virus servers
and clean up any users that missed the push.

I want to know if I can use the %logonserver% variable to specify where to
install it from.

That way I would be able to specify which locations by logon domain
controller can install. i.e. if %logonserver% equals SJWSDC00 then... or if
%logonserver% not SJWSDC00 then goto end.

Is this doable? If so, any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Re: NetLogon Scripting by Domain Controller location

Hello Don,

You can use that variable, did you setup AD Sites and services for all subnets?
Other wise they still can use another logonserver from different site. Also
if you need constant updating of your antivirus think about using DFS.
