I have a Win2K server and Win98 users. I need to copy one file over to their local hard drive.
So I created a little script.bat file
copy "\\server-pdc\netlogon\file.dat" "c:\windows"
Then I put in the user's profile script.bat
"Please wait while NT Script runs" something like that - and it freezes. I had an exit in the bat file and that did nothing either. Any ideas?

Now I have a stupid question. Does the user see a Z: drive to the pdc netlogon or does one have to be mapped?

Test and added -
net use z: /delete
net use z: //server/netlogon
copy "z:\test.dat" "C:\windows"
cls
exit
this still hangs on Please wait While you NT login Script runs. You can go ahead and hit any key and it will go past that and copy the file. Just afraid I will have 250 users calling me with my screen just sits there ......
Oh well they might just have to live with that for a couple of days.

I thinkfor Win9x you should be using
copy %0\..\file c:\%windir%
BTW, how's your server migration going?

whoops ... hit the wrong key
If I do this line
%0\..grc.dat c:\windows\program files\norton antivirus
this will copy the grc file over to the local? Do I need quotes?

I am stumped now. Now no file is copying at login.
Win98 Users
NO KIX
on profile screen in AD logon script is ologin.bat bat file is in \\pdc\netlogon
code:
@Echo off
cls
copy %0\..\grc.dat "C:\program files\norton antivirus"
pause
exit 0

Another test -
User win98 to win2k server
User Profile has ologin.bat as login script
File does not copy
map a drive to the netlogon and run ologin from cmd line. Runs fine. Win98 users on Win2k servers - suck.

We have a PDC and a SDC. Am so new to win2k I thought all users would pull from the PDC. I even put the full path \\server\pdc\ologin.bat to test. As long as this is in their AD profile it should work. SHOULD is the magic word.

Kathy, please add some additional lines to your batch file like those below. We need to see what works and what doesn't. I am not sure if the %errorlevel% variable is available on Win9x.
code:
@Echo off
cls
echo %0\..\grc.dat "C:\program files\norton antivirus"
copy %0\..\grc.dat "C:\program files\norton antivirus"
echo error level = %errorlevel%
pause
exit 0

Put the lines in - logged in - flashes by and gets to the Wait while your logon script runs and just sits there. Counted to about 10 and then cancel. Not file copied.
Get to command line - run the bat file and it works.
