The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q143470 SYMPTOMS
If the system administrator selects Run Logon Script Synchronously for a
group of users in System Policy Editor, the logon script belonging to this
group executes synchronously as expected and the Windows NT shell does not
appear until the completion of the logon script.
If the system administrator makes any changes to the system policies in
System Policy Editor and leaves Run Logon Script Synchronously selected,
the logon script for new users added to this group does not execute
synchronously and the Windows NT shell appears before the completion of the
logon script. The logon script continues to work correctly for existing
users.
