Re: RPC error with Logon Script

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

Hello aaron,

Did you check "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" for the clients in GPO. Maybe this helps. Seems tht the network is not complete prepared before the script runs.

Best regards

We have a simple three line vbscript that adds a default printer for a
user when they log in:

Set objWSHNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objWSHNet.AddWindowsPrinterConnection "\\PRINTSERVER\A_Printer"
objWSHNet.SetDefaultPrinter "\\PRINTSERVER\A_Printer"

We have used this script successfully for years and years. Today,
though, we moved printing services on to a new server. The only
change we made to the script is changing the server name to the new
server. Now, when a user logs in for the first time, it attempts to
run that script and we get a "Remote Procedure Call Failed Error
#800706BE".

If the user, after getting to the desktop, runs this VERY SAME script
by hand...it works. Further, if that user logs out, and another user
logs in, the script will run at log in for that second user just
fine!! o_0

It's almost as if, the first time it attempts it, it can't find the
server, but then it can on the second and subsequent attempts, but I'm
unsure why that would be. Anyone have any thoughts?
