SUMMARY
=======



MORE INFORMATION
================

For additional information regarding the Microsoft Network Client version 3.0,
please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  ARTICLE-ID: Q135465
  TITLE : README.TXT: Microsoft Network Client version 3.0

SYMPTOMS
========

Logon scripts fail to run when using a Network Client 3.0 client.

CAUSE
=====

By default, the Microsoft Network Client version 3.0 only logs on to the local
workstation and not the domain. This causes the logon script to fail to process.

RESOLUTION
==========

The client can be configured to be validated by the domain by using one of the
following methods:

- Edit the System.ini in the Net directory and change the lmlogon= from 0 to 1.
  Add logondomain=<domainname>.

- Modify the Autoexec.bat or type the following command from the prompt:

  net logon <username> /domain:<domainname>

After logging on to the domain, your logon script will process first, and then
the following message appears:

  The server \\<servername> successfully logged you on as <username>.
  Your privilege level on this domain is <level>.
  The command completed successfully.
