#114161 - 2004-02-17 12:31 PM Logon script fires twice / runs double
Tristam Tristam Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-02-17 Posts: 8	Hey, Something weird is happening at one of our terminal servers: the logon script starts two times at the same moment at user logon. Configuring another logon script works as expected, though runs twice also. When no logon script is configured, no script runs, as expected. At the other servers the is only one window running the script. I am unable to figure out what is happening here and how to fix it so your help is welcome! Tristam

Tristam Tristam Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-02-17 Posts: 8	The test script is test.bat Code: @echo %time% @pause (the output in both windows is exactly the same) This script starts two times when set as user logon script. As does the original logon.cmd still. No couse fount in a resultant set of policys from the afected terminal server either. Even "me too" reply are welcome!

Richard H. Richard H. Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	Are you sure it is not just your %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\UsrLogon.CMD firing? This is the appalling bit of crap that runs the "compatibility" scripts. One of the first things I do when I build a new server is disable this. If it is running, you may see two login consoles.

Tristam Tristam Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-02-17 Posts: 8	here we go again, this time contents actual login.cmd: Code: @echo off @%0\..\kix\Kix32.exe %0\..\login.kix The contents of the script does not affect the double execution of the script though.

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	I would have to agree with Richard.. However, have you had a look at the following? (1)XP Logon Optimization - Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization Description of the Windows XP Professional Fast Logon Optimization Feature (2) How you are starting the Script - A Logon Script Does Not Work If %0 or %0\..\ Calls Multiple Commands HTH, Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's

Tristam Tristam Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-02-17 Posts: 8	Thanks for all the suggestions. For the affected terminal server I made a resulting set of policies; no policies are set for logon events / behaviors. The scripts fire at the same millisecond; when a policy and a user logon script where configured i'd expect some difference in start time. Exiting the usrlogon script at line 1 didn’t make a difference. Since the logon script firing twice the “My documents” folder pops up in explorer. No reference found to that action either in GPO, run keys etc. ‘thought I mention it.

AzzerShaw AzzerShaw Seasoned Scripter Registered: 2003-02-20 Posts: 510 Loc: Cheltenham, England	Just out of interest.... What happens if no usrlogon script is used? Does a script still run? Forget that, just saw your initial post Does this happen on any other pcs? Edited by AzzerShaw (2004-03-17 01:49 PM) _________________________ If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit.

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Back to Richard's suggestion about USRLOGON.. What if you put the following at the end of USRLOGON.CMD - Code: ECHO USRLOGON END OF FILE PAUSE Then Put the following in your KiX script - Code: ?'END OF KiXtart Script' ?'Press a key to continue' GET $k What this should do is pause your USRLOGON.CMD and then pause the KiX script and does it still show two windows for KiXtart?

Tristam Tristam Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-02-17 Posts: 8	Just one W2k3 terminal server is doint this. The machine is a clone from a server that fires the login script once. For months they ran OK. Has anybody a idea which DLL are involved in execution the script. Maybe i need te replace some.

Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Back to the specifics.. Using the suggestion I provided.. Is is the USRLOGON.CMD or the KiX script that comes up twice? Kent _________________________ Utilize these resources: UDFs (Full List) KiXtart FAQ & How to's

#114176 - 2004-03-18 05:18 PM Re: Logon script fires twice / runs double
Tristam Tristam Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-02-17 Posts: 8	When both scripts, USRLOGON.CMD kix, are paused at the end i end up four windows. Two running the kix script and two the usrlogon. I did find something of interest: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Userinit has a value M:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, M:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, When I changed the value to M:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, the script runs only once. At the other terminal server the value is M:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, M:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, but only one instant of the script runs. What does your registry and experience to say about this?
