Windows 95 Logon Script Is Not Processed

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

A Windows 95 workstation logging on to a Microsoft Windows NT domain controller 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 domain controller 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.

RESOLUTION

This issue is resolved by the following updated file for Windows 95, and later versions of this file:

   MSNET32.DLL  version 4.00.951  dated 4/18/96  60,416 bytes
