Hello!

My name is Assaf Lasry and my problem is the following:
I have a Server having Windows NT Server 4.0 as my environment. I have 100 users where each and every user have a logon scripts. The Scripts contain the different mappings to applications and different printer settings. The problem is when the users enter their user name and password to access the network, the scripts do not get generated on the first shot. Meaning, only after 2 or 3 attemps to log on, then the script gets generated. What is the cause for this and how can I solve this problem? I want the users to be able to connect to the network on the very first attempt.
Please, it's an emergency.

Thank you in advance,
Assaf Lasry.

It sounds like you have multiple domain controllers and the login script does not reside on all of them. Each domain controller must have a copy of the login script otherwise the first domain controller to respond to the login broadcast will look to its netlogin directory. If there is nothing there, the login script won't run. Copy the login scripts to each DC's scripts folder then look into the setup of replication to make sure that future changes are placed on each server automatically. Good Luck.

It could be that the request for the scripts are timing out. Make sure you have your Server is listed in your Hosts and LMHosts files.

As a quick fix you should create a shortcut on your user's desktops to run the required script from your server so as the user won't have to reboot 2 or 3 times. This should get them off your back while you nut out the problem

Hope this helps
