Deploying .LOA and .SIG files through Active Directory with logon scripts
The .loa file and .sig file will be stored in C:\Program Files\ThinkPad\ConnectUtilities [Windows XP] or

through Active Directory with logon scripts, mark the check box Allow silent import of this package even

Acloa. bat
When a user logs onto a domain, the Acloa.bat executes and does the following:
