Yeah, I agree that I should be able to. Doesn't make sense to me!
Here's a simple test.bat file:
Set ROOTDRIVE=3D%windir:~0,2%
echo %ROOTDRIVE%
PAUSE
And the results:
'\\SERVERNAME\netlogon' is an invalid current directory path. UNC paths
are n
ot supported.
Defaulting to Windows directory.
C:\WINNT>Set ROOTDRIVE=3DC:
C:\WINNT>echo C:
C:
C:\WINNT>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .
wtf? (Okay, okay, I'll confess. This is a Windows NT machine....)

'\\SERVERNAME\netlogon' is an invalid current directory path. UNC paths
are not supported.
Okay, I understand why it's saything since you can't open cmd.exe at a
UNC path, but it seems odd that this warning would appear. Is there a
way I can tell Windows "this is a logon script from netlogon, so don't
expect to be open at a non-UNC path" other than by mapping a drive to
netlogon for everyone?
Thanks a lot,
Ray at work
