Would
additionally be a good idea to check the workstation event logs. Been
seeing some weirdness with mixed topology Win2K SP4 workstations and login
script/GPO's. I agree with Joe that a lot of problems come to name
resolution as a whole, but this is a little different.
Al
A
lot of issues in W2K come down to DNS. Logon scripts are pretty easy to
troubleshoot though if you look at network traces as you will see the request
to get the logon script right in the trace and whether or not the issue is
name resolution or something else.
The
most fun issue I have see with logon scripts is a site that is configured for
DNS and WINS and the way the DC's are configured they are not all in WINS
(involved hub and spoke multi-tier WINS environment) and in a disjoint dns
name space so when a DC is found through DNS and then the logon process says
to bring down logon script xyz the client gets the FQDN of the machine with
the script but for some reason it chops the dns name off and just tries to
resolve the host name through WINS and can't so the logon script doesn't come
down. Have also seen this when companies try to mix to separate networks while
in a consolidation process and they point at WINS for one network and DNS for
another and use the domain and logon process of where they are using the DNS
and the WINS is just to find old resources. Completely blows the logon script
process.
Again, simplest to get a network trace and see the exact failure than
to try and fix this and then that and then that to see what fixes it overall.
I found that in our
AD environment that a lot of "weird" problems like this have to do with DNS
or name resolution of some kind

script problems
Could
be lots of things the fastest way to chase it down is to put the client on a
shared hub with another pc with some network tracing software and watch the
logon process.

problems
Right now when I log into
the computer I get the script I wrote about 40% of the time. I added
it to a different user as well and he never got it. I also copied
the script to all the DC's just in case. Any
ideas?
Thanks
