Guest usrlogon.cmd not running

XP1 on Win2k

We have a problem where an aplication is not running the usrlogon.cmd when it is started and

therefore is not mapping network drives we want to map. The application is JDE Oneworld.

Are you receiving an error when you launch the app? Or do you need these mappings on the app?

Try to do another kind of test on usrlogon.cmd to check if really isn't running, and see if these

commands inserted on usrlogon.cmd aren't stopping the script.

Or make a script with the mappings and set to run synchronously on local GPO.

Check your WINNT\Application Compatibility\Logon directory for missing files

If you can't fix it, a simple workaround would be to publish a JD.bat containing:

net use h: \\fileserver\sharename

start c:\apps\jd.exe




Hi,

well JDE say hi from Finland,

If you run windows 2000 servers, in usrlogon rem lines path set and greate usrlogn2.cmd add these

file mappings there, also if you use network roaming profiles you will get mapping problems, but if

posible do not add any lines in usrlogon.cmd, it just will die in login. try also delete profile from user

what has the problem.

all typin errors or IF lines will kill this cmd.

Is it not running completely? Or just not running all the way through?

With the limited info available...

My guess is that it is actually running, but encountering errors before completion. You have added

your drive mappings at the end of usrlogon.cmd and it doesn't make it that far!

Put your drive mappings at the TOP of usrlogon.cmd and I bet they will map (unless there are

mapping specific issues).

That of course does not address the real issue however. You need to determine where usrlogon.c

md is failing. I would suggest that you put a few "pause" statements in usrlogon to determine

where it is failing.

Set "@echo on" and try placing a "pause" before the following lines:

If "%_SETPATHS%" == "FAIL" Goto Done

If "A%RootDrive%A" == "AA" End.Cmd

If it exits after the first pause, you know that "setpaths" is failing - troubleshoot

If it exits after the second pause, you know rootdrv.cmd is failing - did you run chkroot.cmd and

enter a value?

Regardless of the real issue, I feel confident that moving your mappings to the top (just under

@echo off) will resolve drive mapping issue.

Good luck,

Jeff

In policies enable 'run logonscript synchronuosly' and 'run logonscript visible' while troubleshooting.

Maybe obvious, but did you check your registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon entry

Appsetup should contain USRLOGON.CMD

Also check te Security on this key, check if users can read it.

Good Luck,

Thanks to everyone who has replied. I had already tried most of the suggestions (should have put

more info in, sorry). Further investigation reveals that no logon scripts are running on these servers

at all? Looks to me like someone had "tweaked" a setting, policy or something similar...any

suggestions?

I have seen exactly this problem recently on two servers, and the last post describes the fix

exactly. It looks like the installation of MFXP (SP2 as far as I can tell) blitzes the:

HKLM\Software\Windows NT \CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Appsetup

...key and relaces the current value with 'cmstart.exe'. This prevents usrlogon.cmd from running.

Cant seem to find out what cmstart.exe does though!!

FIX

The real problem is the default file, usrlogon.cmd, is flawed. The line that reads If "A%RootDri

ve%A" == "AA" End.Cmd does not start the end.cmd file, instead the file ENDs. To correct this

issue, place the word CALL before the eEnd.Cmd. The resulting line will look like this -> If

"A%RootDrive%A" == "AA" Call End.Cmd .

FYI> I'm frustrated at Citrix in that this file is provided by them with their installation media. It could

create a ton of headaches.

This file is actually installed by MIcrosoft.

Editing User-Specific Information

When a user logs on to the system, Terminal Services executes a batch file called UsrLogon.cmd

in the System 32 directory. This file makes any necessary modifications to the user environment

and ensures that users can run their applications correctly. If Terminal Services modifications to

the user environment are necessary, you can make them by editing this file. Be aware that by

editing this file you might cause a problem with the application compatibility scripts that are

executed from this batch file.
