I have many users logging on to my NT4 domain. On one machine, the logon script does not execute. In user manager, it is set up exactly like on other machines. Is there a registry entry or something that is preventing it from working like it should?

Hi,
Need more detail about your script, received errors and client OS.
But if I understand correct you setup each workstation in User Manager to enable login scripts?
If its true, why you dont't copy your login script in NETLOGON share on both PDC and BDC? Then you can activate Directory Replicator Service on each workstation (remote).
In user manager for domain select all domain users chose from menu - properties and in Profile\Logon script name - enter the name of your login script.
Eachworkstation will have a copy of this script and will run at logon.

It gives no error at all. It simply does not run or map the drives. It is set up the same as on several other machines and they all execute fine. The script is a KIX32 script.

Assuming that the problem arisdes on on "machine", I'd first look at the network neighbourhood properties OF THAT MACHINE. Is it geared to take validation from the correct NT server domain?

Also, if a particular user only is using THE MACHINE, then you might like to check the user's profile.

End of mail.

The Network Neighborhood properties are consistant with the other workstations. I deleted the users profile and recreated it, but it did not help. Any other ideas?

Can you manually run the logon script from the effected machine? does work as intended from that machine?

If "Enable logon script processing" is not selected in Control Panel, the client will not run the system logon script. Check for that setting
