The batch file does next to nothing - it maps 2 drive letters to a Win2k server based on NT4 domain group membership. The script works fine on 1 server but doesn't even run on any other in the farm.. Thanks for ur assistance Rose "Dean Theophilou" <dino7@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 06/11/2002 10:23 Please respond to thin To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Subject: [THIN] Re: Domain logon scipt not running - not fixed... pls help Hello: There definitely IS an NT policy setting, under "Windows NT System" policy section called "Run logon scripts synchronously". Whether or not setting this value will solve your problem, I don't know, since I'm not really sure what your domain logon script is supposed to do. However, I had a similar problem last year. I wanted each user to have a different mapped drive based on group membership. The problem, which I never really got around to solving, was that the environment variables in a logon script are volatile (meaning that after the logon script completed, whatever values were set simply go away). This is a function of the Windows OS itself, so there's nothing that can be done about it (if you really want the KB articles, I'll look them up). At any rate, what I was planning to do, if I had the time was to test it, was to ignore a separate logon script and application launching, and simply have a "batch" file spawn a separate process to launch the desired application, which would inherit the parent process' environment. I was planning on using Perl, but Kix may be able to do it too. Anyway, I hope this helps. Dean This message contains information which may be confidential and privileged.

As soon as I implemented the change to a production server, it stopped working. There is no difference between the 2 servers. I looked thru the production Nt4 policies and there is nothing restricting logon scripts from running. I even renamed the production policies (ntconfig.pol) to .old so they didn't run, deleted the user profile and tried again - same issue. In user manager, the users are set to run a login script which exists on our PDC + BDC's. User logs on, published app starts but no domain logon script runs as it should. If I switch the same published app back to the dev environment, the script runs. Something is obviously different on my prod servers but I have no idea. Can someone please assist, getting urgent - I need to get the domain scripts running.. Server config is - Windows Terminal Server, SP6, GSNW, Metaframe XPe Thanks Rose "Jim Hathaway" <JimH@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: thin-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 05/11/2002 10:44 Please respond to thin To: <thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Subject: [THIN] Re: Domain logon scipt not running - fixed but drive mappings need a refresh?

It can map netware and NT drives, but it can only do it based on NT users and groups. You can't beat 'careware' though, and it's got a very thorough word doc on how to get it to do what you need, full of samples. Plus the website has a great forum with all sorts of scripting gurus willing to help out those in need.
