We're moving up in the world and are migrating from win9x workstations to XP Pro. Althought I've heard the thing to do first is our server, we can't do that until later this year for various reason.

I'm having trouble getting my XP Pro client to run my NT4 login script when I log onto my domain. I can see and access all network devices properly but the scripts won't run. My scripts are what map our network drives.

any help would be appreciated....

Thanks,

Joel

How did you assign the script? With the user account or w/ group policy?

I think it has to do with how XP does its name resolution but I'm not sure what to look for.

What laguage did you use? Do you have that laguage interpreter installed on the clients? Somewhere I was reading the older NT script laguages use a different syntactic than XP.

thanks for the posts..

We're using TCP/IP.

I know that the ME's and 9x use netbios first for name resolution and the XP uses DNS first. Supposedly that's my issue but I can't see what needs to be changed. There is a tweak in the network config settings of the XP client that I need to do and that will take care of me but I can't see what that is. I've got my DNS and WINS setup correctly.

UGH.

Other than using Advanced DNS Setting in XP to resolve your domain DNS server 1st, I'm out of ideas. Sorry.
