NT Batch file doesn't run

I have a W98 workstation on an NT 4.0 network. When the
W98 workstation logs on, none of the network drives
(especially the U(ser) drive) show up. There are no
errors, but no mapped network drives appear either.

We are using TCP/IP as our protocol.

Any ideas?

Let's have a look at your netlogon batch file!

net use u: \\server02\home\Userxxx
net use f: \\server01\sys
net use g: \\server01\apps
net use m: \\server01\SharedFiles
net use n: \\server02\photos
net use p: \\server01\SharedFiles

Modify your batch file as below, then report what you see:

@echo off
if not "%SystemRoot%"=="" echo on
net use u: \\server02\home\Userxxx
net use f: \\server01\sys
net use g: \\server01\apps
net use m: \\server01\SharedFiles
net use n: \\server02\photos
net use p: \\server01\SharedFiles
net use s: \\server02\OtherShared
net use j: \\server01\cd-rom
net use
if not "%SystemRoot%"=="" pause

Furthermore, please report this:
- Can you map the drives manually, by executing
the above commands, one at a time, from a Command
Prompt?
- What happens when you invoke this batch file manually
from a Command Prompt:
\\YourServer\netlogon\netlogon.bat

I netered the following batch file, restarted the
workstation and it did nothing. I therefore tried running
the batch file from the Command Prompt and it worked
except for the U drive, and that is a quirk of the SNAP
Server on which the U drive is located (don't worry too
much about this one).

I was also able to map the drives manually except for the
U drive, again.

Hope this helps.

There are a number of conditions that must be met in order
for a batch file to be run at logon time:
- Your Windows 98 PC must be set to log on to an
NT domain.
- You must specify the correct name of that domain
- The logon account must be defined on the domain controller.
- The name of the script file (e.g. netlogon.bat) must be stated
in the account profile.
- The file "netlogon.bat" must exist in the netlogon share of the
primary domain controller.

If you feel that this is too complex then you can always place
netlogon.bat into the Startup folder of your Windows 98 PC.
