Log in scripts can be generalized by using %username$%, and can map network drives and set home directories or run antivirus, etc.;
There are many templates that can be used to build log in scripts
Policies can be managed and edited with the Group Policy Management Console, using the Group Policy Managment Editor;
there are also available templates

Microsoft TechNet material on Effective Permissions
FProt antivirus for Linux

   •Linux Network Edit eth0 to set IP vs. DHCP
   •Linux Add/Remove programs
      •Linux Add Servers, SSH
      •Linux Start SSH service
   •Linux Security Levels
      •Linux Allow SSH through Firewall, along with eth0

   •Use Windows Putty client to log into your server

Create a logon script
The following example creates a user named "tester". The user is created with a comment, password expiration settings, home folder, and profile path configured: 

NET USER tester /add /comment:"Example Account for User"  
/expires:never   
/homedir:\\zippy\%username%$   
/profilepath:\\zippy\profile

Or set up home directory in Administrative tools
Recall earlier, when creating user
Create new user dialog

Troubleshooting
1. Inventory
    a. Verify compatibility for hardware and firmware (BIOS)
2. No Boot
    a. NO POST -> Missing or bad BIOS hardware -> Replace
    b. Yes POST -> Hard Drive -> SCANDISK
    c. Yes POST -> Hard Drive -> RESTORE
    d. Yes POST -> Hard Drive -> FDISK
    e. Yes POST -> Hard Drive -> RESTORE
3. Boots, but hangs after OS begins to load
    a. Restart to Menu -> Last Good Configuration
    b. Restart to Menu -> Safe mode
    c. Restart to Menu -> command line -> SCANREG /RESTORE
    d. Boot ASD/ERD -> Repair OS
4. Loads OS, but hangs when a device is started
    a. Non-Printer
        i. Dr. Watson
        ii. Roll back device driver
        iii. Update device driver
    b. Printers
        i. Print test page from printer
        ii. Who can, who can’t
            1. network
            2. permissions
            3. applications
5. Loads OS, but hangs when a program is started
    a. Dr. Watson
    b. Add/Remove software
    c. Dependency Walker
6. Can’t ‘use’ network resources
    a. Check permissions
        i. Right click object, properties, security
    b. Un-encrypt
        i. Cipher /D
7. Memory Issues
    a. Enough RAM?
        i. Failed
            1. www.memtest86.com
        ii. Computer requires more for current usage?
            1. Task Manager/Virtual Memory
    b. Memory Management for Older Computers
        i. Config.sys
            1. Hymem.sys
            2. Emm386.sys
8. Disks
    a. Maintenance
        i. Backup
        ii. Disk Clean up
        iii. Scan Disk
            1. May require preboot execution
        iv. Defragmentation
            1. Linux filesystems self defragment; you do need free space (about 20%) as
                ext2/3 avoids fragmentation if there is enough space to write contiguous files.
    b. Troubleshooting
