Disabling running login script from a specific DC?

[Calvin Lai]

There are 2 DC's in my domain. Is there anyway to force workstations
to only run login scripts from one specific DC when users log in? I
want to troubleshoot some login script problem but I don't want to
turn off the questioned DC because it's also a web server.

Actually we know it's NOT the login script that's the problem.

When a user logs in and the script runs from DC1, it runs fine: network
drives mapped, system time is sync, etc.

But if the script runs from DC2 which is the questioned DC, sometimes it
runs, sometimes IT DOES NOT. Which means drives don't get mapped, etc.

I even copy all the contents of netlogon over from DC1 and it still
fudged up. So the files are not corrupted.

Check the MS Knowledge Base
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;en-us;kbinfo
and ask it to find all references to
"logon script does not run" (all words) for Win2000 systems.
There are lots of hits.

Calvin, to answer your question, are these DC's NT4 or W2K? I can help
you if they are NT4. Just temporarily stop the Directory Replicator
service on DC2 and then delete the contents of the netlogon share on
that server.

Sorry, Calvin. No experience w/ W2K DC's, but check anyway to see if
there is a Directory Replication service that keeps the netlogon shares
synched.
