SYMPTOMS

When you try to log on to a Windows 2000 domain, your logon script may not run.

CAUSE

This behavior may occur if you are a member of a large number of groups (approximately 390 or more). If this condition is true, Windows searches for your logon script at an incorrect location. Instead of searching in the following location

%WINDIR%\SYSVOL\sysvol\domain-name\scripts

Windows tries to locate the script in the following location:

%WINDIR\SYSTEM32\Repl\Import\Scripts
