Guest Francisco Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 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.

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. -- Regards, Ace This posting is provided "AS-IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.
