Hi,

We have several Windows 2003 servers who get their IP address by DHCP
reservations. However, if we do this the following event is recorded
in the eventlog:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: UserInit
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1000
Date: 20-2-2004
Time: 13:39:29
User: N/A
Computer: <server name>
Description:
Could not execute the following script
\\<server name>\netlogon\<script name>. No network provider accepted
the given network path.

If I assign a static IP-address then the startup script is working
fine.

Any idea ?

Franc.

This suggests that the machine is unable to obtain an IP
address from the DHCP server. Did you check the address
the PC was given while on DHCP?
 
Hi,

yes the machine gets it's IP address fine from the DHCP server, I can
succesfully logon at the machine and everything works except for the
startup scripts.

It almost looks like that it wants to start the startup scripts before
it gets the IP address from the DHCP server.

Instead of coding

\\<server name>\netlogon\<script name

Try this:

\\<server IP Address>\netlogon\<script name
