    How to run login script
    « on: September 21, 2009, 09:44:08 AM »
    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.
