SYMPTOMS
========

In Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0, if you do not select the "Modify user
logon scripts" option, SMS Windows NT Logon Server Manager still copies all of
the files in the primary domain controller's Repl$\Scripts (Repl\Export\Scripts)
folder to the Netlogon share (Repl\Import\Scripts) on every backup domain
controller (BDC) in the domain.

In SMS 2.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1), this functionality is changed. If the "Modify
user logon scripts" option is not selected, no files are copied. This change in
functionality is outlined in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:

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

To install the hotfix, follow these steps on the SMS site server:

Mastercfg.mcf file from the Export\Scripts folder on the primary domain
controller (PDC) to the Import\Scripts folder on all domain controllers,
regardless of the "Modify user logon scripts" setting in the Client Installation
or Discovery Method dialog boxes.
