W2K Logon script not running for some users

[ManagerJay]

We recently started deploying W2K Professional to some of our staff, but have run into a problem. For some of the users, the login script will not run.

Other users can log into the same PC, and a login script will run just fine.

The users experiencing the problem will not run the login script if they log into another W2K workstation. However, if they log into a Windows NT 4.0 workstation, the login script will run just fine.

All users are using the same login script.

The server is a W2K Server.

If you are fast enough, you can see the a message in the login script box stating, "The current directory is invalid." when the users experiencing the problem login.

I'm leaning toward this is a problem with their user account on the server.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Jay,

As you are getting the error - the script is being run so the problem must be something in the script.

What is it doing ?

Must be referencing some path that is accessible to some users and not other. So I think you are on the right path.

If you put some more details of what the script is doing somebody will be sure to help.

Cheers

I tracket the problem down to the user's home directory specified in their profile.

The share permissions were displaying a GUID no longer in use instead of the user's name. Correcting the share permissions allowed the user's to login and run the login script without a problem.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
