Yep, too bad so many Windows folks are pushed to the limit with Spirographs Picasso....  :o)   Just buy google already... Petty cash, whip it out. Let people beat on MS for a while for using linux machines to find content at MS while it gets assimilated.     joe     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Fleischman Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 5:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] strange error on logon Searching KB is an art, so you can call me Picasso. ;)     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mulnick, Al Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 4:01 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] strange error on logon   That support search engine must have missed it :)   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Fleischman Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 4:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] strange error on logon Have you seen:   824204 You receive an "Error at logon: Cannot find the file..." error message http://support.microsoft.com/?id=824204       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mulnick, Al Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 2:51 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] strange error on logon   Just a guess.   Check the registry on the workstation.  That file error throws some hits on the net referring to shell startup. This maybe the key.  You can search the registry and find a reference to the idlist portion of your error.  I wouldn't rule out GPO just yet either as it could be something that got locked down inadvertently.  Or maybe folder redirection?  Seen some reference to Norton, but...   HKCR\Folder\shell\rootexplore = "Explore From Here"   command = "Explorer.exe /e,/root,/idlist,%I"     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 3:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] strange error on logon I have never seen an error like that so once you nail down what is running that is throwing the error up, then we can go from there.      joe   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Raymond McClinnis Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 12:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] strange error on logon I began receiving calls yesterday about a strange looking error that users were getting at logon.  Here is the message:   Cannot find the file '/idlist,:0:1140,\\DOMAINCONTROLLER\NETLOGON' (or one of its components).   I originally thought that it may be an issue with a script I was pushing through group policy, but that is not the case.  I still need to look at the startup on the machines in question and see if there is anything there.   Thanks, Raymond McClinnis
