Problems with log-in scripts

[jtvang125]

Lately our LAN has been experiencing a weird problem with certain Win98 machines not loading the user's log-in script files correctly. The Win2000 and XP machines are not affected. We're certain it's not a problem with the script itself since only certain stations are experiencing this. We can see the script load during start up but none of the network drives are being mapped. The problem still exists even if the user logs off and logs back on but if the computer is restarted, the log-in script then loads correctly. If the user has to log off and log back in some time during the day, the problem would come up again.

We have tried these possible solutions but none have worked:
Disabling our PDC and using the BDC to do the user authentication.
Removed all Anti-virus software
Reinstalling the AV software and updated it to the newest scan engine and dat files
Flushing the DNS on the local machine


Anyone have suggestions on what we should look at further? Thanks.

When you sign on to a PC that doesn't run the login script correctly, try running a few of your login statements manually at a DOS prompt and see if it returns an error.

If it does, post here with the results.

--LANMAN

I agree try to run the script locally and check for errors.
When mounting multiple drives, multiple permissions can get in the way. Login scripts must be placed in the proper location on the PDC/BDC.

If this setup worked before then you might want to enable loggin on your server to verify what is going on.

Post your results Im curious as to what it is!
