I have a small workgroup (3 PC's all XP). On the "server" (running XP Pro,
calling it a "server" because that's where the common data is housed, *not*
because it runs a Server OS version) I am having trouble getting the logon
scripts assigned to the local User to actually run. Have followed the steps
of KB315245 ("How to Assign a Logon Script to a Profile for a Local User")
religiously. Not too hard, there are (according to KB315245), after all,
really only four steps:
1) Create scripts folder
2) Share folder as netlogon
3) write script.bat/.cmd file and place in netlogon folder
4) enter script.bat/.cmd entry in User>Properties>Profile>Login script
field
I have even gone to the trouble of replicating the
C:\WINDOWS\system32\repl\import\Scripts path (whereas before, I simply had
Scripts folder placed in the
%SYSTEMROOT% folder).
The funny thing is that on previous (XP) installations on this same machine
the scripts ran fine as implemented above.
However, some history (as it relates to this comment) may - although I don't
know how because it's methodology and contents have not changed - somehow be
envolved.
I have been "learning" by research (and *then* "Trial" - of course with some
"Error" earlier on, but I am confident the CD image is fine now) with
slip-streaming SP2 via an unattended install as burned on the CD.
I have had this machine running logon scripts reliably before after having
built it via this SlipStreamed unattended method (although some slight
variations as to the CD image itself, but those variations are so far removed
from this problem I cannot see how they are related; things like the contents
of a folder placed in $OEM$\$$ to be copied after XP is installed, or adding
an XP Powertoy install to the batch-file that runs last on an unattended
install).
I have researched "Login/logon script XP" extensively and found this same
situation described on other Usenets, but no really definitive replies were
ever matched (I could tell they were all guesswork, and some really far out).
Sorry, "horse", but I'd really like to hear something from your "mouth" so I
can fix this thing and get on with life!
Thanks to any and all helpful responses...
Happy New Year!
