Thanks Ray- I have done just that (created a log file that is) and it will show the drives that got mapped, leaving out the ones that did not. So that is really more of a kick in the a** than anything. I actually have watched the scripts run many times through SMS so I know they are running- plus I know they're calling other parts of the script without any problem or errors. Very sporadic, very frustrating. -----Original Message----- From: Costanzo, Ray [mailto:rcostanzo@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2003 3:31 PM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: Wit's end with login scripts If there's no DC available and the user logs in under cached credentials, the scripts won't run of course. One thing you could do to check for this issue is to log people's logins to see if their scripts are running. It could be as simple as adding something like this to their login scripts. echo Login begin: %DATE%,%TIME%>\\someserver\SomeOpenShare$\%username%.log rem all the normal login script stuff here echo Login end: %DATE%,%TIME%>>\\someserver\SomeOpenShare$\%username%.log Then when Joe user calls up and says he doesn't have a drive, you can see if his script ran today. Another thing you could do is log all the responses from the login scripts. I think that this would involve calling a script from a login script though. Like, if the user's current logon script is logon.bat, you'd have to change his logon script to getlogon.bat with contents as such: %logonserver%\netlogon\logon.bat>logonLog%username%.log If I make no sense, I apologize. I was reading your message, replying to it, and thinking about it at the same time.
