Re: local Mandatory profiles and logon/logoff scripts

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Where are your logon and logoff scripts located? Local policies run at a
different time (t1) in the logon sequence as compared to centrally managed
policies (t2, eg. via AD). The mapping of a drive, such as the TS homedrive,
may be in between t1 and t2. This means that probably a mapped drive with
the logon script is not available depending of the fact is it was launched
from the local profile or from the mandatory profile.

Having issues with logon/logoff scripts not running

Situation:
---------
'Default User' profile -> renamed NTUSER.DAT to NTUSER.MAN
Local Policy contains both a logon & logoff script.
User logs on, C:\Documents & Settings\<USERNAME> profile folder is
created.
Contains both NTUSER.DAT and NTUSER.MAN files.
Checked in 'User profiles' and new profile is listed as Manadatory.

*** Logon and logoff scripts don't run anymore. ***
Any reason why?

It appears that as soon as I switch a profile from local to mandatory my
scripts don't run.

Any help would greatly be appreciated.
