I haven't used domain variables yet, but this looks like it could be an interesting thread.
You mention that on running default.taf for the first time, it checks whether domain$common is empty. What if the service restarts while a user session is in process. Would a user request still trigger this check? What about setting StartupURL to InitializeSystemVariables, and not depending on user state? >Win2K sp3 server, R:Tango 2000, R:Base 6.5 > >I'll try to explain this as best I can.
