LMLOGON=1 Is Not Recognized at the Command Line (93018)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
- Microsoft Workgroup Connections 1.0
This article was previously published under Q93018 SYMPTOMS
The Windows for Workgroups network driver does not recognize LMLOGON=1
if you attempt to log on from the command line before starting Windows
for Workgroups, or if you attempt to log on from Workgroup
Connections. The only entry recognized when starting the network at
MS-DOS is LMLOGON=YES.
WORKAROUND
When Control Panel is used to activate LAN Manager validation, it
automatically puts an entry of LMLOGON=1 in the [network] section of
the SYSTEM.INI file. The only way to log on to a LAN Manager server
from the command line is to manually modify this line.
To change this entry:
- Using a text editor, open the SYSTEM.INI file.
- In the [network] section, change the LMLOGON= entry to:
- Save the file.
- Restart the network services from the MS-DOS command prompt.
The entry LMLOGON=YES is not recognized by the Networks section of
Control Panel. Even if the above modification is made, the LAN Manager
settings in Control Panel do not display a check in the Logon On To
LAN Manager Domain check box.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups
version 3.1. This problem does not occur in later versions of the product.
