GOAL:
How to configure your Windows NT system so that certain commands run at boot up.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows NT 4.0
FIX:
With the utility AUTOEXNT follow these steps to set up the utility:
1) From the AUTOEXNT.ZIP file, extract the files autoexnt.exe, autoexnt.bat and servmess.dll to %systemroot%/system32.
2) Also extract the file instsrv.exe to any directory (a temp directory does fine).
3) At the command prompt, enter "instsrv install" (This creates a new service called AutoExNT).
4) Edit the file %systemroot%/system32/autoexnt.bat and put in any commands you want to be run when the machine boots (such as a CHKDSK etc.).
When the system boots in the future, the AutoExNT service checks for the existence of the file autoexnt.bat and executes any commands in it.
A version of this is also shipped with the resource kit, however it is better to use the downloadable version.
