logon scripts

WhiteWashMan

ok im having trouble getting log in scripts to work.
ive created the accounts.
ive created the logon scripts. theres a few of them.
ive added script names into user account profiles.
ive put the scripts into the import and export\scripts folders in repl and i can see them all in netlogon.
when i go to use them, they dont seem to work.
on my own script, all i get is my network drive. which i have set in the profile of my own user account anyway.
but apparently you need it in the logon script as well (is this true?)
anyone have any ideas why they wont run?
if i run the batch file on its own, i get all my drives.
and i can access all of them through net neighbourhood

heres my own script

default.bat

net time \\uxb04 /set /yes

net use s: \\uxb03\sdrive
net use w: \\uxb03\geodata
net use m: \\uxb03\finance
net use v: \\uxb01\timesheet
net use q: \\uxb04\petrovw
net use p: \\uxb04\petrasrv
net use f: \\uxb03\%username%

Prolly not the same problem but anyway...

When I was in Clare Co. Co. when we'd set up a new account, the script would run fine the first time, but anytime after that it would throw back an error message "Error (whatever number can't remember) Drive already in use" we resolved it by maping to the netlogon and then disconnecting all network drives, logging out and login back in again. Solved our problem!

U using Novell? or Client services for NetWare?

no netware at all. i can use those
no, i know about drives in use.
the problem is that it doesnt appear to be working at all. ie, it doesnt even try to run the batch file.

WhiteWashMan

Hey WWMan,

Just want to check.. Is the Server a Primary Domain Controler and are the Workstations set to log onto a domain?

[Edit]If you want I can give you a hand over MSN.. just add michael@adest.com[/edit]

WhiteWashMan

yes and yes

Gambler

In the logon Script entry of the profile did you put in the full path to the bat file or just the name (The Entry should just say default.bat if that is the name of the file.. no path)

WhiteWashMan

yep. thats all i have.

curious isnt it

Gambler

Strange is not the word... where abouts are you based? if you want I can drop in and have a looksie for ye?

Otherwise MSN is yer only man

WhiteWashMan

uxbridge, middlesex, london, just inside m25 ring road.
id really appreciate it if you could, but i have to bugger off in about 30 minutes to pick up my new car

Gambler

Ok, don't know how long it is on Ryanair but if you aren't there I'll wait at the door

Anywho... Back to basics.. what OS is the server (NT or 2K) and the workstations.. Are you able to see the scripts in the Netlogon folder through the Network.. Can you mail me screen shots of the Network Config on the Workstations and maye a screen shot of a user profile entry??

can mail to michael@adest.com

WhiteWashMan

its ok, i figured it out
the replication was setup correctlly so none of the login scripts were being copied over to an NT 3.51 server where the logins are apparently being validated.
copied over and now working sqiffily.
well, i think we managed to teach everyone whos rea this thread today how to set up scripts !

dont ask me, i dont understand anything

by me some drink in the duty free will you?

Gambler

ROFL
