We have an NT Server 4.0, Primary Domain Controller that has a logon script.
We want to upgrade this server to Windows 2000 (Member Server). We would
like to know if this logon script will still work after the server is
upgraded.

Thanks.
 
You should test this in a test enivronment to be sure.

Certainly, if you change a PDC to a member server (2000), It will no longer
be considered a logonserver. Replication (if it is replicating with backup
domain controllers) will no longer happen automatically. And machines are
usually configured to run logon scripts off the nearest available logon
point, and will not find this. Unless you have manually configured the
scripts to run directly from the machine as a file server
\\domaincontroller\scripts\script1.bat

But again, really the best thing you can do is duplicate the environment in
a test lab and see what happens. We all know theory is very different from
what happens in reality.

Thank you very much for your quick response.

We no longer have Backup Domain Controller. This PDC will become a member
server and will join a new domain. This new domain contains Active
Directory

May I ask where this scripts folder reside so I can put the logon script? I
did a search for scripts and found several scripts folders.

Thanks.
