Configuring NetExtender Connection Scripts
SonicWALL SSL VPN provides users with the ability to run batch file scripts when NetExtender
connects and disconnects. The scripts can be used to map or disconnect network drives and
printers, launch applications, or open files or websites. To configure NetExtender Connection
Scripts, perform the following tasks.
Step 1 Right click on the icon in the task bar and click on Preferences... The NetExtender
Preferences window is displayed.
Step 2 Click on Connection Scripts.
Step 3 To enable the domain login script, select the Attempt to execute domain login script
checkbox. When enabled, NetExtender will attempt to contact the domain controller and
execute the login script.
Note Enabling this feature may cause connection delays while remote client’s printers and drives
are mapped. Make sure the domain controller and any machines in the logon script are
accessible via NetExtender routes.
Step 4 To enable the script that runs when NetExtender connects, select the Automatically execute
the batch file “NxConnect.bat” checkbox.
Step 5 To enable the script that runs when NetExtender disconnects, select the Automatically
execute the batch file “NxDisconnect.bat” checkbox.
Step 6 To hide either of the console windows, select the appropriate Hide the console window
checkbox. If this checkbox is not selected, the DOS console window will remain open while the
script runs.
Step 7 Click Apply.
