| | Running Application in Login Script Hello, I am having an issue starting an application from within a network login script. The particular application is Numara Trackit audit32.exe. The user account used to logon to the Vista computer is a Domain Admin account with Administrative rights to the computer. the last step of the login script calls the application like so Start \\servername\sharename\audit32.exe If I try to run the application manually from the run line it works fine. However this is unacceptable because the computer is on the directors desk and to him that is not a solution. This is not an issue with Windows XP systems, only Vista. Is there a way to make this work from the login script? Thanks |

Otherwise the environment may not be ready to execute the application - hard to tell since you tell us absolutely nothing about what happens when it is in the login script. -- Mike Brannigan |

| | Re: Running Application in Login Script Forgot to say - even if you run Asynch on the logon scripts they Explorer may not be fully initialized before your app runs so put a delay ion the login script to ensure the desktop is started up . Alternatively don't use a login script put the app in the startup group or the Run registry entry to ensure it starts once the UI is ready and the user is logged on. -- Mike Brannigan "Jeff Belorit" <jbelorit@xxxxxx-inc.com> wrote in message news:%23DLyLJgfIHA.5904@xxxxxx Quote: > Hello, I am having an issue starting an application from within a network > login script.

| | Re: Running Application in Login Script Not sure what is happening, the director clears the error before we can check it out. How do I make the login script asynchronous?
