UNC paths are not supported

[Kurt111780]

Hello:

We have windows sbs 2003 domain. All clients are running win xp pro. When the logon script runs the first line says:

'\\servername\NETLOGON'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the currentdirectory.
UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to to Windows directory.

This causes other files in the netlogon folder to not execute. Any idea how to fix this? This even happends when the default windows SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat runs. Is this normal? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Kurt

Microsoft has a KB article from earlier this month that indicates you may need to update cmd.exe on your client machines.

Hello:

I did see that KB article. I just don't under stand the reson behind this. Does MS not want CMD running from a unc path? Rather than modify the registry on all workstations I just entered the full UNC path for each file called in the logon script and it works fine now.
