I have a NT4 server and mostly W98 clients logging in with a simple logon script. Now I want some new workstations with NT4 and XP installed to login to the network. On these machines the logon script doesn't work, mappings are not made. What must be done to make these WS login correct?

Try using system variables in your script?
eg. if %OS%==NT goto NT
NT
then the script

if %OS%==XP goto XP
XP
then the script

In Windows NT everything is in uppercase.
%OS%=="WINDOWS_NT"

but in Windows XP
%OS%=="Windows_NT"

Eventhough the difference is suttle. Logon scripts running in XP do see the uppercase "W" and the lowercase "indows" differently.

Change your logon scripts and try again.
