local Mandatory profiles and logon/logoff scripts

[Guest William P]

Having issues with logon/logoff scripts not running

 

Situation:

---------

'Default User' profile -> renamed NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN

Local Policy contains both a logon & logoff script.

User logs on, C:\Documents & Settings\<USERNAME> profile folder is created.

Contains both NTUSER.DAT and NTUSER.MAN files.

Checked in 'User profiles' and new profile is listed as Manadatory.

 

*** Logon and logoff scripts don't run anymore. ***

Any reason why?

 

It appears that as soon as I switch a profile from local to mandatory my

scripts don't run.

 

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Where are your logon and logoff scripts located? Local policies run at a

different time (t1) in the logon sequence as compared to centrally managed

policies (t2, eg. via AD). The mapping of a drive, such as the TS homedrive,

may be in between t1 and t2. This means that probably a mapped drive with

the logon script is not available depending of the fact is it was launched

from the local profile or from the mandatory profile.

Re: local Mandatory profiles and logon/logoff scripts

 

My logon/logoff scripts are in the local policy on the terminal server. The

logon/logoff scripts only run proflwiz.exe, to secure the Office

environmental changes and then a COPY command ot copy a file from one place

to another.

 

I even added a pause int he logoon.cmd file to see what is going on and it

doesn't run.
