domain logon script does not run

[Guest Onetoomany]

Win XP MCE (configured as part of a domain, using one of the registry hacks)

2003 server

 

When I log onto the MCE box, the logon script does not run. I can manually

navigate to the folder "netlogon on *server*" and run logon.vbs, and my

network drives are then mapped. However, this does not run automatically; I

believe that I've configured the global profiles etc... on the server

correctly. I think this is a client issue, not a server issue as the logon

script runs on the server perfectly but not on the client.

 

I've also tried cheating by putting a shortcut to the logon script in the

startup folder, but it still does not run. However, I can run the logon

script by later navigating to the Startup folder and clicking on logon.vbs

 

I've posted this to the MCE group, but we hit a brick wall there. I've

tried to remove myself from the domain, rename the user as .OLD, and rejoin

the doman. No joy.

 

Any ideas?

As you're no doubt aware you're using an unsupported config (which isn't to

say it can't work, mind you), you might mention what happens on WinXP Pro or

2k or Vista Business machines when they log in.

 

Also, mention more info about the login script (assigned via GPO?) and what

your event log says on the client.

Maybe this is a dumb suggestion, you could try changing your script from

a logon.vbs to a logon.bat file instead? All my login scripts are .bat files

and run smoothly. I had one user (a developer) who at one time had his own

script and it was a vbs and it always seemed to have a problem.

 

Anyway, something to try as a test, maybe? Maybe it truly doesn't matter,

but just a thought...

Re: domain logon script does not run

 

I've tried the tips with the following results:

XP Pro computer - script does not run

Logon.bat - ditto

In both cases, the script will run manually. (ie no success)

 

This makes me think its something in the way I've configured the server:

In gpedit.msc, under User Configuration / Scripts / Logon, I've entered:

\\myserver\netlogon\logon.vbs

The script sits in that folder, and Authenticed Users have read access.

 

R

Ah. That's your problem. Don't point it at a shortcut to the netlogon share.

Copy the vbscript to the default location for that GPO....or specify

logon.vbs in each user's ADUC properties.
