Drives aren't mapped during logon script

[SK79]

We've got a wee problem with a windows 98 set here...

We're logging onto an NT domain using a logon script which map 4 drives. On this one set, I've had to manually map the drives as the script doesn't seem to run...

It's definitely logging onto the domain, protocols & clients appear to be OK (I've reinstalled these anyway), ping commands work fine and yet the script doesn't run. One thing to note is that it says "Creating Profiles" when the OK button is pressed at the logon screen...

Do you have anything else to try?

Windows 98 won't automatically run your NT logon script. You have to create one manually.

The logon script to run should be on the server under this directory - \system32\repl\import\scripts. This directory should have appropriate access permissions. If you go into User Manager on the Server and Properties of one of the users then Click on the Profile button. There is a place there to enter the Login Script name to run.
Good Luck!!!

This won't work with Windows 98 workstations...only NT. Windows 98 won't run logon scripts unless you set it going manually whereas NT (and 2000) will.
