Invalid Current Directory

by and_the_beat_goes_on . Updated 25 years ago

I use NT 4.0, sp6a, NTFS. Up to now, I have only had administators logging onto the server. In the effort reduce the # of admins logging onto the server I wanted to implement admin levels. To test this, I created a new user and added them to the backup operator group. This is where the fun begins…. When the test user signs on I receive the following message:

userinit.exe – Invalid Current Directory

The process cannot switch to the startup current directory c:\. Select OK to set current directory to C:\winnt or select cancel to edit.

When I click on the OK button I get:

nddeagnt.exe – Invalid current directory

The process cannot switch to the startup current directory c:\. Select OK to set current directory to C:\winnt or select cancel to edit.

When I click on the OK button. I get a little dialog box titled DESKTOP: The contents of the box says: Cannot access this folder, Path is too long.

I believe that I am logged onto the server as the test user, The background screen color is what I would expect and my Landesk Remote Control Icon (from another server) is in the upper cornor like normal, however I get no desktop ikons or start buttons or anything else.

It has nothing to do with built in accounts. Itook the test user out of everything but domain users and they still get the same thing.

Would appreciate any help. Thanks
