Logon Scripts

[techyphil]

Since Sp3 has been installed on some client laptops, the logon scripts are not working correctly.

The mapped drives not always being mapped.

I've tried created them in vbs and use vbs instead of bat files. Still no joy.

I dont really want to use a gp logon script as the some users have different logon scripts assigned to their username.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Please can you post copies of your scripts?

Thank You, much appreciated!

Without wanting to appear pedantic, what makes you sure its SP3?

[FN-GM]

I agree, i can't see SP3 making it act this way.

Someone else (on these forums) reported the same problem and we isolated it down to the way the home shares were shared and redirected.

If you use \\servername\share\username (this seems to cause problems)

If you use \\servername\username$ (this seems to work)

I use the latter method on XP SP3 with no problems!

Thanks,

Well I wish it wasnt just a coincidence but it honestly does only affect SP3 machines. Having said that, it is a custom build CD with lots of reg tweeks. It has to be something on that

I read that sometimes a slow link detection can cause logon scripts not to be executed as well.

The subfolder method works too, you just need to make sure things don't go peculiar by having a read for "this folder only" on the folders that have to be traversed.

have had to do that for our mac users and windows clients seem to be fine with it as well.
