rc = runLoginScript() 'Returns true if logon succeeds.
if rc then
WshShell.LogEvent 0, "Logon Script Completed Successfully"
else
WshShell.LogEvent 1, "Logon Script failed"
end if
var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
var rc = runLoginScript();
if (rc)
WshShell.LogEvent(0, "Logon Script Completed Successfully");
else
WshShell.LogEvent(1, "Logon Script failed");
