SUMMARY
This article describes how to set a Default Preferred Server or Default
Tree and Context, as well as Default Script Options for Client Services for
NetWare (CSNW) and Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW).
Usually, each user logging on to a workstation will be prompted for a
Preferred Server, providing one has already been set. After the initial
prompt, the user will not see the Preferred Server prompt again.
The following information will allow multiple users logging on to the same
workstation to connect to the same Preferred Server. They will not be
prompted for a Preferred Server.
NOTE: The following registry settings will be present only if an unattended
installation of Windows NT was accomplished.
Default Preferred Server Settings
To set a Preferred Server for all new users logging on to a computer
running Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server, you must modify the
registry.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide
problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
- Run Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
- From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key:
System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NWCWorkstation\Parameters
- Add the following Value:
DefaultLocation:REG_SZ:
- The data for this value should be the name of your preferred server. To
specify a default Tree and Context you must use the following format:
*TREE\CONTEXT
For example, if your Tree is "Netware" and your context is
ou=USA.O=Middleton then the DefaultLocation should read:
DefaultLocation:REG_SZ:*Netware\ou=USA.o=Middleton
-or-
DefaultLocation:REG_SZ:*Netware\USA.Middleton
Default Scripting Options
To set default scripting options for all new users logging on to a
computer running Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server, you must
modify the registry.

- Add the following value:
DefaultScriptOptions:REG_DWORD:
- The data for this value reflects the default script options, which are:
0 indicates that no scripts will be run.

3 indicates that either NetWare 3.x or NetWare 4.x-level scripts will
be run.
For example, to specify that all new users logging on to the system will
run all NetWare level scripts, add the following value and data:
DefaultScriptOptions:REG_DWORD:0x3

options to use for new users. You cannot specify default print options.
