Terminal Server Deletes Novell Search Drives

ID: Q222095

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

SYMPTOMS

After you install the Novell NetWare client on Windows NT Server, Terminal Server Edition, NetWare environment variables, drive mappings, and search drives that are set in the Novell server logon scripts are deleted from the Windows NT Terminal Server session envrionments.

CAUSE

Terminal Server's Winlogon process was reengineered to prevent users that log on more than once from having duplicate volatile environment keys. This was done by having the Winlogon session delete the \\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment key just prior to processing logon scripts.
