My company is in the process of switching from one Active Directory server to another (both running Win2003 Server Standard). I have moved the FMSO roles, DNS and WINS. Everthing seems to be working fine.However I am having trouble moving the login scripts to the new server. The login script is being called from Active Direcory under each user's profile tab - Login script field. I don't know if it is relevent or not but but when I run DCPROMO on the old server to remove AD I get a warning saying it can not contact any other domain severs.

I have searched online and per the advice of multiple posts I have placed a test script on the new server at the following locations.

C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\inwood.local\scripts
C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\domain\scripts
C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\domain\scripts\inwood.local\scripts

The old server's scripts are still running without an issue. They are located at the following locations.

C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\domain\scripts
C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\inwood.local\scripts

Have you moved your machines to the new domain? Are you running DHCP? Or static IPs? Does the machine have the new DNS server listed when you run ipconfig /all from a command line?

Thanks for the reply.

I found that I had many issues with the config. Eventually I had an outside firm help me set it up.

Thanks,
Scott

I had same issue before with my new domain server.
I just tried and tested putting my logon.bat to your similar directory and luckily its now working.
let me check my config and tell you if we have the same.
