Logon Script

[Stannerack]

I am trying to get a Win2k Pro client to log on to a NT4 Server. We use System Policy's on our network. All of our existing clients are win95/98. I have 50 new win2k's to install.

I have created a NTCONFIG.POL file with various policies set. One of them is to Run a file called w2klogon.bat

In that file there are various commands to map network drives.

If I run the batch file normally, it works fine. But when I run it from the NTCONFIG.POL, it generates errors saying it cannot find the network device.

Is it a timing issue. I have tried setting the policy to run the login script synchronously, but it doens't make any difference.

HELP!!

Did you make the Win2K machines part of the network? It may be a connectivity issue. If they are not part of the network then the scripts wont run at all or not run properly. James Collins

I have made the computer part of the domain.

I think the only way round it is to implement a local group policy and run the logon script that way. A bit of a pain though, because that means we have 2 sets of policies to maintain.
