Having a problem trying to get login scripting to work on NT 4.0 SP5 or SP6a Workstations. It will execute when NetBEUI is running on the workstation but not when TCP/IP is the lone protocol. (The server is running NT 4.0 SP5 with protocols). It finds the server under both scenarios. The login script is a simple batch file to find the time server and update the time. Any suggestions?

Make sure under user manager,profile, you put "filename.bat" in Logon Script Name field. And make sure your logon batch file locate under your PDC C:\winnt\system32\Repl\Import\Script\filename.bat

Good Luck.

If the login scripts run with NetBEUI but not with IP, then it seems like you have a name resolution problem. Can you open \\servername\login share with IP as the protocol? If you are refering to \\servername\sharename in your login scripts (which you probably are) and your name resolution is not working properly, scripts won't work. NetBEUI uses broadcasts so it usually finds its way on the local nets. try WINS setings and/or lmhost file.

Thank you. I have virtual LANs running and WINS was not active on that LAN segment due to some issues with Win95 clients. Mystery solved.
