I have a network running SBS 4.0 with several 98 workstations, a few of which will not execute the script I have written when logging on while others will. I have the script placed in the correct location (\\winnt.sbs\system32\repl\import\scripts\smallbusiness) and have checked it for spelling errors. Any ideas?

Check the replication status for your authenticating servers if you have more than one.

Have you double checked the user's profiles. Compare it to the user's profiles that work and see if there are any differences. Also, try creating a new script and giving that to all the users and see if that works. That will at least tell you if it is specific to the script or to the users.

Make sure the 98 machines are selected to log into your NT domain (the checkbox is selected), and that the domain name is spelled right. Eventhough it is SBS you are running, it is set up the same on the 98 machines.

Also make sure the 98 users are typing in the right login name and password that exist on the SBS server and not just pressing Cancel.

Plus, is Client for Microsoft Networks selected on the 98 machines? Make sure it is.

Getting login scripts to run on 9x machines is a pain, but possible.

hope this helps
