SYMPTOMS

During your Windows 2000 logon process, if a NetWare logon script is run by Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) or Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW), the following Dr. Watson error message may occur:
An application error has occurred and an application error log is being generated.
NWSCRIPT.exe
Exception:access violation (0xc0000005), Address:0x01cae84d
This problem occurs with either CSNW or GSNW when you are attaching to a NetWare server as a bindery or NetWare Directory Services (NDS) user.

CAUSE

Nwscript.exe does not treat ENDIF as a valid argument. The command is not supported by the Windows 2000 logon script processor.

RESOLUTION

To avoid this problem when you are running logon scripts with GSNW or CSNW, remove ENDIF statements from NetWare logon scripts; replace them with END statements.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
