viewing my profile and/or logon script

[balvey27]

As a user on a domain, is it possible to view my logon script and my user profile? I want to compare it to another user I work with.

contact your administrator and they can assist you with this. The logon scripts are usually in sysvol, which you may have read access to, but finding it is the fun part. And the user profile, this only pertains to Roaming profiles. Group Policies would do the rest of the restrictions; which are managed by admins.

Is there no way to view what is being executed when I log into the domain? I can not ask the admins for help on this. I just don't necessarily trust what they say to be fact and we are having some issues with certain users. Hence the need to compare user A to user B.

if you have enough rights on the local PC, you can run a gpresult and see what policies are being applied. This will only help if the names of the policies are descriptive in some way.

Between A & B, what issues or difference are you seeing by the naked eye? Do certain things work on one and not the other?

it's really more or less a need to show that there are some differences. it's related to users that log into their PC, then use terminal server client to get on a server to run an application. They keep getting kicked out of their terminal server connection. we've setup a few ping tests to see if they are losing connectivity but they don't. I suggested that the licensing and profiles/logon scripts be checked. It was quickly rebuked that there couldn't be any differences and I wanted to double check that.

something in between the users and the terminal servers, prob a network device, may be having issues.

Thanks for the link, I'll pass it on to our admins. We have had some more revelations on this now. Yesterday one of our guys went to the facility with the problem users and setup a ping from their pc to the terminal server and a ping to the switch they were connected to.
none of the clients that he set this up for had a disconnect yesterday or today, until about 20 minutes ago after he killed the pings. Then they all started disconnecting again.

Sounds like the keepalive timeout. Glad to help!

do all switches have a keep alive timeout that can be set per port? I've mentioned keep alive settings to them but I don't think they know if there is one on the switch. we have a Nortel 2000 business policy switch.

 

[TechyMcSe2k]

In the document link i sent you, the Keep alives are in the Terminal Server itself; not the switches.

Section 2: Keep Alives:
In the registry at HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server, create or edit the DWORD value of KeepAliveEnable and set it to 1. This will turn Keep Alives on

Yes, I saw that those settings were in the Terminal Servers. I don't necessarily think it's that though. In that same building there are two different switches the users that are going to one switch and using terminal server aren't being kicked out, only users on one certain switch. That's why I was kind of generally asking about switches, if you can set a keep alive up by port?

 

[TechyMcSe2k]

probably just a faulty switch. Replace it.
