Logon Script does not Work Properly under WINDOWS (111378)
This article was previously published under Q111378
SYMPTOMS
When you log into a LAN Manager domain under Windows (using CSD00.074),
the WINSCRIPT program terminates before the script is completely executed.
This is unacceptable if Windows initialization depends on the logon
script's completion, as it does when loading Windows from a network
drive.
CAUSE
LMSCRIPT.EXE creates a synchronization file (LMSCRIPT.$$$) that signals
the end of the logon script's execution. In normal operation, WINSCRIPT
finds this file, deletes it and terminates. But the CSD00.074 LMSCRIPT.EXE
creates LMSCRIPT.$$$ as a READONLY file--which cannot be deleted. When you
log on again, WINSCRIPT finds LMSCRIPT.$$$ and terminates without waiting
for the logon process to complete.
WORKAROUND
Use CSD00.074 only if you are experiencing the sharing violation error it
was designed to fix.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in LAN Manager version 2.2b.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
