[Samba] Win7 login script not running

[samba1 at nym.hush.com]

Thanks very much for your reply.

I was working on this all day yesterday, and just can’t get it to 
work.

It’s as though Windows7 simply isn’t executing the login script.  

The user is called w7user2 and the login script is being named 
w7user2.bat.  pdbedit –L –v w7user2 shows everything to be okay 
with regard to the login script name and path.

I’ve tried it with another user, and have tried granting both 
standard and administrator user rights on the PC.

I tried simplifying the contents of the login script so that it 
didn’t do any drive mapping, so it shouldn’t be stumbling over any 
of the login script’s content.

The only way I can get it to ‘work’ is by calling the login script 
from a batch file in the user’s startup folder on the PC.  ie  
‘call \\<server>\netlogon\%username%.bat’

That executes fine, which means the server side of the login script 
seems to be working okay (as it is for all existing XP users).  

I’m going to try it with another test Windows 7 PC (32 bit this 
time) and see if that makes any difference.  At the minute I’m not 
sure what else to try!
