RE: [ActiveDir] strange error on logon

[Eric Fleischman]

We keep tweaking it to make it better. As you’ve probably read, this is a major work item for us. We’re working on it.....     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mulnick, Al Sent: Friday, May 28, 2004 8:37 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] strange error on logon   Picasso, would it just be me, or does anyone else think that making KB searching an art vs. a science  is wrong?  I mean, as long as it's public vs. say, utopia, wouldn't it make sense to make it so the intended audience could use it?  Like Joe said, buy google already. That's what gets used for most KB searches anyway.  At least the successful ones.   Al   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 5:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] strange error on logon 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
