Login Script not working for Dialup Users

[vijmat]

I am trying to make the login scripts run for any user who dials into our RAS(NT 4.0, SP6a, BDC) box. Our Domain is running under Windows 2000 Mixed mode and most of our Dialup users are using Windows 2000 Professional.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I am still looking for an answer for this. I have installed SP2 on a client just to check if it is a client issue (I saw this article in the technet, which said that applying SP2 will solve this matter), but this still did not work. IS it some special setting on the DHCP server that is required.

I really need Help on this one. Hoping that someone would respond.

Thanks

Is there any specific error message?

Have you tried your scripts on the LAN?

Is the configuration for scripts correct on the PDC? Mubashir

I am sorry for not being specific

The login Scripts works perfectly fine within the network. We have a WAN and login scripts work fine for the WAN users also.

The problem is only for dial-in users. All our Dial-in users are using Windows 2000 Prof. They log into the domain fine and they can see all the machines. So no problem with the WINS or the DNS servers. They can map to any drive using the NET USE command. If I give these users a batch file to execute, even that works fine. The problem is that the default domain login scripts does not execute at the moment they login to the domain (using Dial-in)

As you are in mixed mode, something which I missed initially, there are a few things which you might like to consider, if you haven't already:

Win2K clients in a mixed mode domain default to Kerberos Authentication, meaning can't be authenticated by the NT BDC. Which means that win2k clients go up to Win2k DCs and pull login scripts from there. That points to AD hence.

If you've managed to authenticate the Win2k client at the BDC then are the scripts being replicated fine? As far as I know LmRepl is replaced by NTFRS upon upgrade and both cannot coexist. Admins have to manually arrange for the replication of scripts from Win2k DCs to NT BDCs.

Can your NT and Win9x clients able to get scripts over RAS?

The login scripts are manually replicated. Whenever I make a change in the scripts, I always do it manually between Win2k DC and NT 4.0 bdc.

Actually I tried it with win9x and win nt clients and even they do not work.
