Listing 1: Example Nssetup.bat Batch File
rem This is a working example of the autocreation of Netscape preferences.


rem variables 
rem This section configures different personal settings in a common directory (\pc).
rem Define these variables according to 
rem your site settings.
rem 

set pcdir=z:\pc
set nsdir=%pcdir%\netscape
set nsprefs=%nsdir%\prefs.js
set maildomain=ida.liu.se
set mailserver=ida.liu.se
set newsserver=news.ida.liu.se
set startpage=http://www.ida.liu.se/
set organization=Linköping University
set maildir=z:\\Mail
set mailimapdir=Mail
set fcc=z:\\Mail\\Sent
set signaturefile=z:\\.signature


rem This section checks to see if certain folders exist; if they do not, the batch file creates them.
rem These folders are not necessary, but I use them to
rem keep all PC settings in one directory, so they don't conflict
rem with other operating system files when users log on from
rem other platforms and access the home drive. 

rem Maybe create user's PC catalog.
if not exist %pcdir% (
 echo Creating %pcdir%
 mkdir %pcdir%
)

rem Maybe create user's mail catalog.
if not exist %maildir% (
 echo Creating %maildir%
 mkdir %maildir%
)

rem Maybe create user's Netscape catalog.
if not exist %nsdir% (
 echo Creating %nsdir%
 mkdir %nsdir%
)

rem This section captures the user's full name from the doamin controller.
rem 
rem You must enter the full name in the User Manager on the Primary Domain Controller.
for /f "tokens=1,2*" %%i in ('net user %username% /domain') do (
 if "%%i"=="Full" (
 set fullname=%%k
))

rem This section lists the preferences created, and if this information is already present,
rem you jump directly to the end of the file.
rem 
rem Compare the following lines with a prefs.js
rem of your favor to match your site settings. These
rem settings use IMAP4, store cache in c:\temp\netscape cache,
rem and so on. You can find a more detailed guide of the settings 
rem at Netscape's homepage FAQ.
