Hi all, I have a wierd problem...

We have all Windows XP clients, and a Windows 2000 Domain Controller on our network. We also have 2 other servers running Windows Server 2003 for file & terminal services.

About 10 or so machines on my network can not logon to the domain. They are logged on with Cached credentials, and no drives are being mapped (from a logon script we use) nor is the Home Folder being applied. (Which is set up for each user in AD).

Now when I login with my user/pass, all scripts run correctly, and drives mapped accordingly.

As soon as i log off, and the user loggs back in, No scripts are run, and no drives mapped....

Can anyone give me a suggestion? All DNS Servers are running good, Ive checked everything I could, right now, after they logon I have to manually map all the drives on there systems, so I know the permissions on the shares are correct.

Plz Help thanks!

Yes, I just checked the Date and Time, exact match. I dont understand why i can logon, and everything work, but as soon as the actual user loggs on, nothing works... I thought it was a permissions thing, but by default, all users should be able to contact the DC and get the login script...

It sounds like it may be a problem with the NTUser.dat file. For a test, try blowing away 1 users ntuser.dat file and then try logging in with that user.

Also, does the user have permissions on the system? I would check the local machine permissions (Like administrators) and see if their domain account is in the group.
