I had it in user initially, then did it on the computer object - no
difference. I don't think this key has anything to do with it anyway - that
controls the order - ie run the script, then once finished run the process.
My issue is the scripts don't run at all.
I even tried running the script from usrlogon.cmd and it didn't run from
there either - I don't think usrlogon.cmd is running either..

Has the policy been defined in the "user" or "computer" portion of the
policy? By default, the "computer" portion overrides the "user" portion.

Hi
I set this policy setting - made no difference. 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

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.

Hi again
I thought this was fixed - ie it was working on a server in our prod env.
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

but drive
mappings need a refresh?
Rosemary,
I thought I'd seen something in the forums about this, but I haven't =
been able to find it yet so we'll go with some options that may or may =
not get you what you want.=20
You could look at resetting how your pub app launches, I would create a =
new app with all the old settings, but in place of file manager put a =
custom CMD file. In the CMD, you could use 'timeout' available on =
thethin.net under utilities, to have the file 'pause' for a set few =
seconds, (long enough for your scripts to run) and then have it call =
your app.=20
I've also seen a post or two about folks making customizations to =
usrlogon.cmd to pause the login as well. I'd imagine 'Timeout' would =
work in this situation too, however this will effect all logins to the =
server.=20
With Win2k, and it's policies you have the option for asynchronous =
logins (which means explorer waits to load until your login scripts =
finish). Once again without looking I don't recall if TSE policies have =
support for this option or not, but it's worth a look through the ADM's =
on thethin.net just in case.=20
I'm sure in playing around with these possibilities you'll find a =
working solution, others on this list may very well have some better =
ideas for handling this as well . . . of course a good number of them =
are all at Iforum this week so you may have to wait a day or two for a =
good answer . . :)
Good luck,
J

Hi
I seem to have it working now. However, the application (File Manager =
in=20
this case) is launching before the logon script has completed so the =
drive=20
mappings don't appear unless I press F5. Has anyone seen this before. =
Is=20
there a way to suppress the app from starting until the script is =
finished=20
so all letters are visible without the need to refresh??
Thanks
Rose
PS - Thanks for the info Jim, I shall take a look into Kix...

Rosemary,=3D20
Try setting the following settings in the registry on your server, it
will not only allow you to kill the NW login script, but should allow
you to set default tree and context settings for all users.=3D20
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\servies\nwcworkstation\parameters\logon
logonscript - REG_Dword - '0'
PerferredServer - Reg_SZ - '*treename/context'
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\nwcworkstation\parameters
DefaultLocation - REG_SZ - '*treename/context'
DefaultScriptOPtions - Reg_Dword - '0'
After making these changes, restart the gateway service for NW on the
server and the changes should take effect.=3D20
Combined with the last e-mail I sent, I suggest you take a good look at
kix for doing this stuff. 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.

I have a WTS Server with Metaframe XPe installed with Gateway services

netware. I want to run the NT Domain login script only and it is =
not=3D20
running. I have set the Preferred Server in the Gateway Services config

None but Run Login Script is still ticked.
My domain logon script is not running for any user. Is there an issue

the domain logon script if gateway services is installed but not used??
90%=3D20
of our users require gateway services, the other 10% only require a

How can I get the domain logon script to run for these users??
Thanks
