Problem using Winbatch scripts in Netware login script - GPFing

Keywords: 	  remap Z: Z drive GPF logon 

Here's something I thought might help other Winbatch users.

We were having a problem using Winbatch scripts in Netware Login Scripts. The login scripts would GPF.

We noticed that the problem was occurring when user login script was blank (null), which was causing netware to remap Z: while a winbatch was loading/initializing from the system/container login script.

While the remap was occurring, winbatch got the "rug" yanked out from underneath it, and presto GPF...

Because varing machine/network speeds and resources, sometimes the timing worked for you or againist you. This burned up alot of resources to track down...

Lesson, never let netware decide what to apply for default script entries. If you want no user login script, add a "REMARK" line as the user login script.
