The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
- Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS
========
Your Windows 95 client does not process your logon script, terminates the script
prematurely, or the script stops responding (hangs) during processing.
CAUSE
=====
There are several reasons that your client may not be properly processing your
script file.
- There is an environment variable such as %USERNAME% specified in the logon
script. Windows 95 does not understand all of the environment variables that
Windows NT does. In order to have this type of functionality, you must use a
third-party script application, such as KiXtart.
- There may be a batch file that has been called that has not terminated
properly.
- User Manager for Domains is not configured to launch the Script file such as
the file name is mistyped. This is configured in User Manager from
User/Properties on the menu bar and selecting the Profile button.
- The file does not exist in the Netlogon share on every domain controller in
the logon domain.
MORE INFORMATION
================
