Windows login script error

[killerasp]

i setup a batch script to run at logon to the domain. i set this through domain policy> logon script

but i got this error:

'\\cc.local\sysvol\xxx.local\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984
}\User\Scripts\Logon'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.

C:\WINDOWS>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .

I looked up and found out what UNC paths are. but why are they not supported?

From what i remember, within DOS, unc paths aren't supported (i don't think they have been ever).

So when you call a share from another machine, usually you have to temporary map the drive to execute whatever is within the share.

Here is the microsoft reason .

[ipconfig /all]

What are you trying to do with the batch file?

 

[killerasp]

just trying to map a networked drive to the workstation.

just do a net use then.
NET USE X: \\SERVER\SHARE

You can always use a VBScript instead of batch file.

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "Y:", "\\ServerName\ShareName"

 

[killerasp]

just do a net use then.
NET USE X: \\SERVER\SHARE

thats what i did and i got the error. i just did a registery edit to fix it.

it will work if you use the above...

is your DNS setup yet? if not that would cause it.... try typing in the IP of the server instead of the name and see if it works...

NET USE X: \\10.10.10.1\SHARE
