Re: Logon to WS2003 and run a MSDOS app, without loading windows O

Thanks for your response.

We can run the DOS app, that not the problem. The problem we need to solve
is to logon to WS2003 with a MSDOS machine and access a shared folder.

The computer in MSDOS is locked up in a cristal case (a card reader is the
only reacheble part to people), so we think we could put the username and
password in the autoexec, the problem is how to connect it with a boot disk
to a windows server 2003 and logon as a client accesing the shared folder.

thanks

only thing this computer(client) does, ( we use it to control workers
time ) nobody access the computer beacause its in a case, only the
card reader is out)

The reason think, its clear ... dont need to have a big amount of
software upload, if we are only going to use the application made on
MSDOS-FOX (thats on a folder on a file server (winser2003)

What we need to know if theirs a way to logon to WinSer 2003 and run
the app without loading any windows version of OS... ( could it be
from DOS..???.)

thanks

If it's a DOS app, share the folder on the 2003 server, map a drive from the
users' workstations to the shared drive. So if you chose the letter 'X;'
for the mapped drive, then go into a command prompt, change to x: drive, and
run the executable.
