Windows 95 Logon Script Is Not Processed

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

A Windows 95 workstation logging on to a Microsoft Windows NT primary domain controller (PDC) may not process the centralized logon script batch file.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if multiple Windows 95 workstations try to run a logon script file (for example, the Winlogon.bat file) located on a single Windows NT PDC at the same time. The first time a Windows 95 workstation access the logon script file, it does so in Read/Share/Exclusive mode. All subsequent accesses to the file are done in Read/Share/Deny None mode.

The exclusive requests fail when another workstation has the file open in Read/Share/Deny None mode.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
