When logging onto the nt4 domain using the backup domain controller, the logon script aren't used by some users. All the profile settings regarding the logon script for the specific users, has been tested. Other users using the backup domain controller runs the logon script without any errors. Any ideas?

I can think of a couple things - but I'll bet you've added a new machine to that network recently. If a new BDC is on the network, some users will login using it as their connection to the SAM. If that machine is not on the replication list for the netlogon folder, then there are no scripts to run!

Check for a new machine. It has happened to me!

Thanx, this issue is on a current domin where the two domain controllers used to live in 'perfect harmony' :) No new servers have been introduced, only one or two clients. Regarding the replication list, other users accessing the backup domain controller can run the scripts.

A replication problem would do it, but I took it from the question that all the machines were known to be validating from the same BDC, but some ran the scripts and some didn't. Is that right? If so, it's not replication.
