We have a Win2K Small Business server and recently I added a Win2K3 DC into
the mix.
We had an issue this weekend where the Win2K SBS machine went down and the
Win2K3 backup DC took over.
I have a particular user AD account set up that is configured to
automatically run a program when that user logs on - as opposed to showing
them the desktop.
I found out this morning from this user, that when they logged on early this
morning (before the SBS machine was back up), that the desktop was
displayed - and the app that is supposed to start up automatically at logon
did not!
Why would the backup domain controller not have made sure that the startup
application listed in the "Environment" tab of the users AD profile not have
run? This startup app is located on a completely different server - which
was up and running no problem.
The only other thig I can add is that this users is a terminal server user
and all TS users use romaing profiles because we have two terminal servers
that can connect to via load balancing. The default TS roaming profiles are
located on the SBS server that was down. I can't see why this would have
prevented the startup app from running though...
Any help would be most appreciated!!
