SYMPTOMS

Logon scripts fail to run when using a Network Client 3.0 client.

CAUSE

By default, the Microsoft Network Client version 3.0 only logs on to the local workstation and not the domain. This causes the logon script to fail to process.

RESOLUTION

The client can be configured to be validated by the domain by using one of the following methods:

Edit the System.ini in the Net directory and change the lmlogon= from 0 to 1. Add logondomain=<domainname>.

Modify the Autoexec.bat or type the following command from the prompt:

net logon <username> /domain:<domainname>

After logging on to the domain, your logon script will process first, and then the following message appears:


   The server \\<servername> successfully logged you on as &lt;username&gt;.
   Your privilege level on this domain is <level>.
   The command completed successfully.
