I have one user that can't get the logon script to run on his WINNT 4.0 PC, yet when I or anyone else logs onto the PC, the script runs fine. I even had him try to logon to another PC and got the same results - no script. I assume there is a problem with his NT ID but don't know what to do. Can it be resolved without deleting and recreating his NT ID. If not, how do I make sure all his old settings return with the new ID without bringing the problems back or creating bigger problems.

This may be a dumb question, but did you make sure the name of the login script file is listed under the users profile in usermanager?

Sorry I didn't mention this in my original question. Yes I have verified that the script name is in profile in user manager. Everything is the same in his profile as all other users in his group.

I agree with the previous answer.
Go to your Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and click Start->Programs->Administrative Tools (Common) -> User Manager for Domains.
Double-click the user name for this user.
Click the Profile button.
In the Logon Script Name text box, is there anything listed there? That is where the logon script file should be listed. If there is nothing there, then type the file name in and click OK.
Close User Manager.

hope this helps
