I have a WINNT 4.0 Domain.
I have logon scripts that are on ALL PDCs and BDCs in the NETLOGON share. My logon scripts(all .bat files) map drives for users and make sure virus .dat files are up to date as well as setting PC times to match the server. I have a mix of DOS/Win3.11, Win95, Win98, WinNT and now W2K workstations. The logon scripts run successfully on all computers (lost some hair getting it to work with the sparse env. variables available) but my problem is that my W2K Prof workstations do not run the script at all. It is not a syntax problem in the script. It is not a unicode character problem either. When they(W2K Prof OS Workstations) logon they do not attempt to run the script defined in user manager under profile. Ifthe same user logs in to any other OS they work fine. I think that either the desktop is loading to fast and missing the script or that the default location of scripts is different in W2K but I cannot resolve the problem. I cannot find any policy templates for W2K that allow me to set a policy on running logon scripts either.
Help. I need my scripts and I am not upgrading my domain to W2K Servers.
I have also noticed that if I put a copy of the batch file in my startup folder the drive mappings will not work. I have to wait for the desktop to load and run it again. Then it works. But I want to run all login.bat files from the NETLOGON folder so I can keep them updated.
