Help....we currently have an NT 4.0 domain and recently started upgrading some of our laptops from NT4.0 to W2K and I have been getting very flaky results from running logon scripts via DUN. At present I have had to create a lmhosts file but this does not always work. Machines logon fine via LAN connection. DUN is configured for WINS and DNS and have also entered preferred DNS server. Do I need to supply DNS suffix? Server is setup to assign IP addresses. If I try to navigate (whilst on dial-up) to the domain where scripts are held, it says it is unaccessible. We use Kixtart for logon scripts.

It sounds like you arem just no able to resove the host names in your logon script. Once you are dialed in, try pinging the one of the machines in the logon script, this will tell you if it is a name resolution problem. If so, either resolve the names in a lmhost file or add a dns suffix if you have one.

I can ping servers in logon script but if I explore entire network, the items displayed (as in my lmhosts) are "inaccessible", i.e the domain. Have also entered DNS suffix previously without success. LMHOSTS file does work ocassionally but not consistent?? Is it because W2K uses DNS and NT4.0 is WINS based?? I'm stuck.
