The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

Logon scripts fail when you log on from a computer running Windows NT Workstation. However, Windows for Workgroups and Windows 95 computers process the logon script successfully.

The Windows NT Server providing the Logon Script has a space in its computer name.

RESOLUTION

Remove the space from the Windows NT Server computer name, or use another character such as an underscore.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
