Configuring NetExtender Connection Scripts

Secure Mobile Access provides users with the ability to run batch file scripts when NetExtender connects and disconnects. The scripts can be used to map or disconnect network drives and printers, launch applications, or open files or web sites.

To configure NetExtender Connection Scripts

1. Click the Properties icon in the system tray. The NetExtender Properties window displays.

2. Click Connection Scripts.

   

3. To enable the domain login script, select the Attempt to execute domain logon script check box. When enabled, NetExtender attempts to contact the domain controller and execute the login script. Optionally, you might now also select to Hide the console window. If this check box is not selected, the DOS console window remains open while the script runs.

   Enabling this feature might cause connection delays while remote client’s printers and drives are mapped. Make sure the domain controller and any machines in the logon script are accessible through NetExtender routes.

4. To enable the script that runs when NetExtender connects, select the Automatically execute the batch file “NxConnect.bat” check box. Optionally, you can now also select to Hide the console window. If this check box is not selected, the DOS console window remains open while the script runs.
5. To enable the script that runs when NetExtender disconnects, select Automatically execute the batch file “NxDisconnect.bat.”
6. Click Apply to save your changes.
