Logon Script Does Not Run When Computer Name Contains a Space

ID: Q132307

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.5
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.5

SYMPTOMS

When you log onto a computer running Windows NT, either locally or from another Windows NT Server or Workstation, your logon script does not run. It runs normally when you log on from a computer running Windows for Workgroups.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when the Windows NT 3.5 Server primary domain controller (PDC) that finds the script fails to parse the computer name correctly because of a space in the computer name.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use an underscore, dash, or another character in place of the space in the computer name, or upgrade to Windows NT Server 3.51.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
