ENDIF Does Not Work in NetWare Login Script with CSNW/GSNW

ID: Q156411

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

In NetWare login scripts that have an ENDIF command, Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) or Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW) will report the following error when executing the login script:

Script error: Could not interpret line
The original line was :
Endif.

ENDIF will work when executed from a Novell NetWare client.

Login script example:


   IF MEMBER OF "SUPERVISORS" THEN
       WRITE "blah....."
   ENDIF

RESOLUTION

CSNW and GSNW will work properly with the END command instead of the ENDIF command.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
