Roaming Profile and a Login Script

[Guest Francisco]

Environment:

Server: Windows 2003

Workstations: Windows XP SP2

 

I have roaming profiles setup, and all user accounts have a login script to

xcopy files to their local machine. My issue is, I editted the login script

to "REM" (without the quotes) the xcopy statement, but the xcopy still seems

to try to xcopy these files locally. I'm assuming the issue is with the

roaming profiles. Any ideas how to resolve this? I would like to stop the

xcopy ... i even deleted the statement and it still tries to copy the files

locally after a restart.

 

Thanks in advance.

How many DCs, and why don't you post the full output of the login script

here?

 

Roaming profiles don't have anything to do with login scripts, so look

elsewhere. Am curious as to why you'd want to copy files to workstations in

a login script, too.

I agree if there are more than one DC, and AD replication is failing, the

workstation may be logging on to a different DC that the script didn't

replicate to, or he may be editing a logon script not located in the

NetLogon share.

 

It may be helpful if the original poster can indicate if there are any

errors on the DC or the workstation, as well as the location of the script,

and possibly take a look at the script to see if there is a buried

subroutine performing the unwanted actions.
