--->Thanks.
--->We have changed things a bit:
--->
--->We will use a service account for this purpose only.
--->That account will have its credentials in the batch file instead of a
real
--->user's credentials.
--->We will still use a startup script sitting in sysvol, but it will only
call
--->the aforementioned batch file.
--->The batch file will sit on a file server to which no users other than
myself
--->have access, and to which only about 4 computers at a time (via group
--->membership) will have access.
--->Those computers will not be used by anyone other than the 6 of us who
will
--->be doing the deployments.
