Logon scripts MUST be edited and saved with Windows line endings. If you edit in UNIX/Linux, you need to run it through unix2dos type conversion. WinNT, Win2K, WinXP Prof are capable of logging in via 'cached' credentials (unless told not to do so by registry/policy) and thus a login is possible without connecting to PDC/BDC WINS / network browsing might not be working properly... Try opening 'My Network Places' on a system that doesn't run a logon script and click through to see if the PDC/BDC actually show up in Windows Browser. If not, you have to fix WINS Are you sure that it's a per user and not a per machine thing? On a machine where the script doesn't run for one particular user, try logging in as another user who hasn't had a problem getting logon script to run and vice versa.
