one change to the servers - one of 3 domain controllers had be demoted to a member server 2 weeks ago and before the problem. (existing and current other 2 DC's not changed)
I know what you're probably thinking and I did initially think that this could be the cause of the problem, however, the demotion was completed without issues at the time and the replication and AD seems to be OK. There are also no errors/problems in the event logs for all domain servers.
Do you think I've missed something here?

Shawn, that is not an odd-ball question. I thought about that as well but did not ask for clarification.

Can you post the contents of your script? Or the piece that is giving you trouble?

Or it could be XP's user logon enhancement were the user is logged on prior to the network starting.

OK.. While it may not be the script.. What about how he is calling it?
Sure you can use NTLOGON.BAT, but what about simply KIX32 and the program auto searches out KIXTART.KIX?
There was a guy last week that posted that had a problem with KIX32.EXE itself on one of his DCs. Maybe a CRC/MD5 Checksum is needed.

Hi people - many apologies for not popping back in earlier, although I did try a few times over the last few days and got a "cgi-script" error when acccessing this forum.
First - thanks for all your help so far, I've read through all the threads since my last visit and have tried a couple of your ideas.
What I did in the end (due to time constraints) that seems to have sorted it all out was and old but sometimes effective method: I removed all kix32.exe and *.kix scripts from all my domain controllers and from the XP workstations, removed the group policy object from the A.D, deleted all copies of C:\Windows\prefetch\kix* files from my XP workstations. THEN started again, re-created GPO in AD, created a shutdown script in the GPO (batch file) that copied the latest kix32.exe and logon.kix files a newly created C:\kix folder of my XP workstations, setup configured the scripts to run locally on the workstations and to be called directly from the GPO (no batch file).
Since then, the scripts seem to be working OK. What is still annoying, though, is that I don't really know why they behaved the way they did in the first place? I'm sure we've all been there before, where ANYTHING to get a problem resolved is a welcomed relief, even though you're still not sure what it was that fixed the problem.
I will continue to try and track the seemingly obscure source of my issue so that others may not feel the same frustration and will post any updates I think are relevant.
I have a horrible feeling that my issue may only be temporarily resolved.

Hi All,
I’m experiencing the exact same problems on my site, there are a few slight differences in our setup which might shed some light on things.
We have one site, 4 DC’s, 2 w2k and 2 w2k3, the w2k DC are about to be demoted. We’re a w2k pro shop with around 250 workstations, up until now that is. I have just configured 2 WinXP SP1 workstations for myself and a colleague so we can run the w2k3 server tools. Both workstations are experiencing the problem of random hanging at the applying your personnel setting stage. If you leave the workstation it will eventually login, after an hour or so, and give the 1217 error in the event log.
The problem ONLY happens with WinXP SP1 clients. We use a number of group policies and run with Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon setting enabled as to is the Run logon scripts synchronously setting.
I would say the problem occurs 1 out of 5 logons, making it a pain to troubleshoot. Restarting the PC and logging back in under the same ID doesn’t work, restarting in Safemode with networking and logging in seems to clear the problem. Kix32.exe is run locally and I have just upgraded to the latest version.
Cheers
Kerry
