Re: Login Script

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Some are authenticating over a LAN and others are authenticating over a WAN.
It happens in both cases. For the ones going over the WAN, they are using a
DC over the WAN as well.

There are no other scripts running at the same time.

Hi,

I am new to scripting, and have created a login script that runs under a
Group Policy. The problem that I am having is that sometimes when a user logs
in the script seems like it is not running. The user just gets their desktop
background picture and no icons, taskbar, etc. If they press ctrl+Alt+Delete
and logoff and then back on the script runs and all of the icons appear. I
have done all of the updates for the computer as well as windows, and also
checked dns problems. So I think it might have something to do with the
script. Here is what the script looks like, any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin.

I don't see any red flags in your script. Are the clients who have
problems on the LAN or authenticating over a WAN? Do they authenticate to a
local DC or one over a WAN? If they are connecting over slow links,you may
have other Group Policy processing issues as well.

Are there other computer startup or user logon scripts running at the same
time?
