Two questions:
What could prevent a computer startup script from continuing until a user logs in? I know that it starts before the user logs in, but it hangs and eventually times out unless the user logs in. I also know it isn't network access, at least not obviously. The script is able to write a file on an Everyone-writable share before the user logs in. What would cause the "run logon scripts synchronously" policy from not being effective? I have verified that the setting is in effect with RSOP. The desktop is shown without any apparent delay, meanwhile the script takes up to 2 minutes to complete. From timestamps written at start and end of the script, I know that the logon script has not exited until long after the desktop is displayed. The same script is in play for both of the above questions - obviously I am trying to complete the script before the user has control of the computer. The script is a .cmd file that in turn cscript's a .vbs file located on a network share. thanks all, Carl ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
