    Hi,

    I am implementing a Winlogon notification dll. The dll works fine on Windows
    XP, but I cannot get it to work on Windows 2003 Terminal Server.
    The dll creates a text file, starts Notepad and displays a message box when
    the logon event occurs. All these work fine on XP.
    Whne I logon to teh Windows 2003 server, none of the above happens. The dll
    is locked by the system, therfore winlogon.exe must use/load it.

    I tried to :
    1. log in from the console as administrator
    2. log in from a remote XP machine using the Remote Desktop Connection as a
    regular terminal server user
    2. log in from a remote XP machine using the Remote Desktop Connection as
    the administrator terminal server user
    None of them helps.

    If anyone knows what to do differently for 2003 server in the code that
    works on XP, please let me know.

    Thanks,
    Alpar
