NDS Logon Scripts Do Not Execute Correctly When Using Objects from Different Partitions (183664)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q183664 SYMPTOMS
You have NetWare 4.x servers with NDS running. The NDS tree is divided into
several partitions. In a logon script, you check for objects in partitions
that are not present on the logon server. When running the logon script,
you find that some commands are not executed correctly.
Often, logon scripts check for group membership of the user logging on. In
this case, the logon script would execute as if the user was not member of
the group although he or she is a member.
CAUSE
When using objects not present on the logon server, the script processor
has to query a partition on another NDS server to resolve the request. If
it later needs to check for group membership, it has to revert back to the
original logon server. The current version of Nwscript.exe does not do this
properly.
RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the
