The "guest ok = Yes" line proved to be the secret to getting Windows XP to execute the logon.bat file. Thanks for the suggestion!
Nowhere in any Samba documentation have I found that mentioned. It should be in the book. Thanks again, Andy Liebman -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have my netlogon share defined as such: [netlogon] ~ comment = Netlogon ~ path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon ~ guest ok = Yes ~ locking = No I think the 'guest ok part' might help you... I'm not 100% sure...
