Detect Active Directory logon |
|
|
Our company has some XP SP2 notebook computers joined to a W2K3 domain. I
need to develop a script which run some commands if log on to domain (E.g. in
office) and some other commands if not log on to domain (E.g. out of office).
Is there any ways to do such detection?

You could make a logon script that pings your Domain Controllers then assume
that if they are unavaliable, the user is out of office.

This would have to be a computer-based logon script as opposed to a
domain-based logon script. If someone is logging on to a workstation using
cached credentials, it is not the domain that is doing the authentication.
And neither will the domain-based logon script run if the domain controllers
are not accessible.
Same thing if someone logs on with a local computer account, except that,
even if the computer is physically connected to your network, a non-domain
account will not run a domain-based logon script.
