Howdy! Howdy!
Basic question: logon script does not work sometimes in a
WIN2000 SBS Server/WIN2000 client environment. And
sometimes is the key word. Happens on two users with
regularity and on two others with irregularity. The other
seven people are fine. It is also something that started
about three weeks ago...no changes have been made ( well,
not to my knowledge ). Having said that, I will have to
say that it was formerly "logon.bat", problems started, I
suggested to boss that we change it to logon.cmd, he did,
problems still here.
It is a basic logon.cmd with five simple drive mappings.
The "logon.cmd" is in each user's profile - and is spelled
correctly! For the two users who experience this
regularly the do indeed have an IP Address from DHCP.
They can get to the Internet. Logon script simply does
not do it's thang!
I have not had a chance to really look at this - will on
Monday. They are going through an extremely busy time
right now and are glued to their computers.
For what should I be looking ( I need to cut to the chase
here as they are super busy and I can not be spending 15 -
20 minutes at their computer )?....
I am going to suggest to my boss that we drop the logon.cmd
( user's profile tab - logon script edit box ) and go with
a vbscript and make it part of "logon" ( user
configuration | Windows Settings | Scripts | Logon ).
However, I would like to know what is causing
this...Telling the users to simply log off and then back
on - or even worse, restart their computer - each time
this happens is getting old. That is a quick fix. We need
a solution.
I have never experienced this before. I guess that I have
been lucky - up til now!
Thanks all,
Cary
