Have a slight problem, two identical workstations running Win98 that connect to a NT domain on logon as normal and run the logon cmd script. One had a hard drive fail, so this was replaced, full install of Win98 done, all drivers reinstalled etc and everything ok so far, except if user enters username password and domain name to logon, pc just hangs - doing nothing - screen stays the same for hours. Clicking cancel logs the user into the local machine but they can browse and map to network drives on the server (without domain authentication thru logon!) Any thoughts, as the two machines are setup identically? Everything is ok on the domain server as nothing has changed on it since both pc's were working fine. For some reason the logon is not looking for the logon.cmd script although this is all defined in the workstation network setup as is the working pc. Account names on the server for this pc are same as before. The only thing I can think of is cloning the hard drive from the working pc so that both are identical then changing the "computer name" so that it's not the same as the cloned one, but I don't have Ghost or any cloning software to image the drive on the working machine. Any help you can give would be gratefully received Regards Mark

Well, when Cloning NT system, you come across the problems of the same "SID's" on both machines. In order to fix this problem, download the microsoft program "Sysprep" which should redo your SID. There is one thing you should keep in mind though... MAKE SURE THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD IS BLANK BEFORE RUNNING MICROSOFTS SYSPREP! Otherwise you have to break into it. You also should read the documentation on it also. Rob http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/technicalresources/deployment/DeploymentDocs/deploy/DeployTools/SysPrep.asp

Thanks for that, problem now resolved...
