LAN Manager Bug Fix for Post Logon Script Delay (97495)
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1
- Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1a
- Microsoft LAN Manager 2.2
This article was previously published under Q97495 SYMPTOMS
In LAN Manager, failure of a network request command during a logon script
from Windows would cause the script to pause a long time before returning
control to the user.
CAUSE
The problem arose from the way the timer was being kept. When a NET ERROR
occurred (for instance, a NET USE to a non-existent server) the Windows
procedure would not receive timer ticks, so it would introduce a delay
before ending the logon script window.
RESOLUTION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in LAN Manager versions 2.1a
and 2.2. This problem was corrected in the latest US Service Pack for LAN
Manager. The fix changed the logic to use a count to check for time elapsed
since the dialog was started and to abort the logon script based on this.
