folders by using folder redirection in Windows 2000 and in Windows
Server 2003

I'm not sure about the logon script problem. But when you have
solved the folder redirection problem, you should be able to logon
as a normal user. Then try if you can browse to the NETLOGON folder
and execute the script manually. If you do that from a command
prompt, you'll get an error message if it fails. Please report the
error here for further assistance. Also check the permissions on
the script.

I have a 2003 Enterprise terminal server joined to my domain.
It is not a domain controller. When myself, the admin login or
one other user logs in, no problems. We all happen to be
admins. When anyone else logs in all they get is a blank
screen, basically the blue background you get just as you login
and the login dialog drops off the screen right before the
desktop comes up. Terminal services manager shows the person as
logged in, if you try to switch to that user it gives you the
same screen. I'm getting the following errors in my Application
Event Viewer

Event ID 101 - Folder Redirection
Failed to perform redirection of folder Desktop. The new
directories for the redirected folder could not be created. The
folder is configured to be redirected to
<\\server\RedirectedFolders$\%USERNAME% \Desktop>, the final
expanded path was <\\server\RedirectedFolders$ \addde\Desktop>.
The following error occurred: This security ID may not be
assigned as the owner of this object.

(This one happens twice, once for the Desktop, once for My
Documents, this is probably the cause of the blank screen)

Event ID 1085 - Userenv

The Group Policy client-side extension Folder Redirection failed
to execute. Please look for any errors reported earlier by that
extension.

Event ID 1000 - UserInit

Could not execute the following script....

(This one also happens twice, each time it tries to run a script
from my NETLOGON share on the Domain Controller)

Any ideas, I'm stumped.

Thanks in advance
