Guest Rick Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Re: cannot open logon script Well, that is what i did: login to the server, go to RUN \\servername\netlogon all logon scripts shown up there then, when I tried to edit the logon scripts, that is when i got those error mesage.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Re: cannot open logon script You probably have insufficient access rights. Instead of relying on GUIs (which are great for end users!), try this Command Prompt approach: - Click Start / Run / cmd(OK) - Type these commands: net use Q: \\servername\netlogon{Enter} notepad Q:\YourLogonScript.bat{Enter} What do you get?

Guest Rick Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 Re: cannot open logon script It WORKS! Thanks! It is weird though since I login to the server (Domain Controller) as domain administrator. it had been working until last week(?). How do you explain the access right issue? Thanks alot!

I get round it by copying to My Documents with Explorer, editing, TESTING, and then copy tested script back to \\server1\sysvol -- Regards, Newell White
