Hi Kurt,
thanks for that.
Our ping times are faster than that, I have now created the server without
any extra software running (we were running domino on the box as well), so
now it is purely a fileserver, running backup DNS, DHCP, NIS, NTP.
If I turn my PC off, and log on it executes the NETLOGON script each and
every time (great!), alas, if I log out and log back in, chances are it
won't work (not so great), if I persevere, it will eventually work again,
for a while. So, even with less load, it occasionally works, though I am
perplexed as to why it appears to always work when I reboot my PC, perhaps
there is something in windows that it messing up? We run Windows 2000 at
the moment and are waiting to launch Windows XP on the poor users in the
near future.

hello jason,
we are using successful netlogon over years. - at first we had similar
problems. the reason lied in the batch file:
1) the batch was written on linux, so the CR was missing at the end of
the line...
2) we used "net use" without the /y flag -> windows did not rebind the
drive, but deleted the old link. (so onetimes the link was here, next
times it missed...)
hardware:
if u have not the possibility/experience to look at the network packets,
so u can test your stability in a simple way:
use ping with a big packet size, and u will find out, if there is a
problem with your network connection:
in windows (stop with ctrl-c):
ping -t -l 65000 XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
should look like this:
