Login scripts

[Getting desperate now]

Hi,

This is the 3rd time i have posted this and no-one seems
to be able to help???? (

I have created a new login script for one on our sites
and placed it on our main server i have forced AD
replication but the login script is not being copied over
to the new
server.

We are placing the scripts in:

\winnt\sysvol\domain\scripts

and there is also a copy in

\winnt\sysvol\sysvol\domain.co.uk\scripts

Is there a reason why this is not replicating?

Thanks

Jennie

check the file replication service on both servers.
also be sure that there is no communication problem between them, such as a
firewall blocking NetBIOS traffic, NetBIOS disabled on the network interface
card and so on.

An FRS problem perhaps? Check in your Sysvol and look for any folders that
have _NTFRS in the folder name.

Jennie,

The script will only be replicated to domain controllers in the same domain.
That replication is site independant. Sites only enable replication
optimization, customization and improve logon traffic. If sysvol is online
on all dc's in the domain and replication is functioning the new script
should also replicate. The ntfrs is responsable for this. I would add the
login script to sysvol via a group policy. Just add a group policy object
to the ou that contains the users for which you created the script. Open
the policy, go to the user configuration, windows settings, scripts (logon,
logoff), double click logon and click the "show files" button, you can copy
the script there, go back and use the "add" button.

Hi Simon;

We do have a folder with _ntfrs in the name, what does
this mean?

Those folders are called morphed directories and they indicate a problem
with FRS. FRS is responsible for replicating logon scripts and Group
Policies between DC's and are most likely the cause of your problem. You may
also find that changes you make to Group Policy do not work as expected
either. Read this for instructions on fixing the issue
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=328492

And for general FRS info http://support.microsoft.com/?id=323247

Also ensure all your DC's are at SP4 as there are numerous FRS fixes in it.

This error is often accompanied by (or indeed caused by) FRS Journal Wrap so
have a good look through the system log for journal_wrap_error. If you find
any you will need to use the burflags registry key to D2 your server.
