Run logon script automatically

[Ray]

I note that Windows XP OS client pcs do not run logon script on NT4 server
while Windows 95-ME client pcs run it correctly. Can someone tell me the
possible causes and fixes.

Thanks,

Ray

Not without seeing the scripts in question. It is possible (You still have
Win 95-ME clients?!) that your scripts won't run on WinNT+ kernels.
Different formatting, something.

However, I cannot say for sure what your particular problem is (domain
level, script level or otherwise) without more information about your setup.

Replied in another group - if you need to post to multiple groups, it's best
to do so all at once in a single message (separate the NG names with commas)
so that everyone can follow the thread. A lot of people subscribe to
multiple groups, and this way you won't be asking anyone to reproduce
someone else's work, and everyone can benefit.

Crossposting = posting once to several newsgroups within a single message.
This is not a Bad Thing (presuming the list of groups posted to is small,
and all the groups are truly relevant to your question)

Multiposting = posting separate, identical posts to several newsgroups. This
is a Bad Thing.

Shenan,

Thanks for your reply. The logon script is quite simple as follows:-

net time \\server2 /set /yes
Call \\server2\vplogon\vplogon.bat

Is there any area incompatible with Windows XP Pro?

Thanks,

Ray

Lanwench,

Thanks for your advice. Actually, I am unsure which group should I raise my
question and tried the groups for Reponses. I will use your suggested way
to do so as far as I can.

Did you grant the XP users the right to change system time?
In an NT based system such as XP, a regular user cannot change the system
time unless granted that right.

Spinner,

Thanks for your advice. Time sync is unimportant to XP Pro due to internet
sync built-in. The virus update of the second command is most important to
us. I tried it in Run mode and command mode manually with following error.

'NBPSHPOP' is not recognised as internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.
The system cannot find the drive specified.
The system cannot find the drive specified.
'NBPSHPOP' is not recognised as internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.

Could you help me fix this up.

Thanks,

Ray

Since there is no reference to 'NBPSHPOP' in the first script you posted, I
assume it's in the vplogon.bat?
Can you post the contents of that file?
