     Actually, registry changes should be done through a custom Policy
template.  That works great for Windoze or Samba servers.   But for this
specific fix, just point to the machine that happened to log you on to
give you da files.  (that machine would not be down, because it just
validated you)
     If you want to reference to the machine that actually caused them
to log on, then just call that variable from your logon script
%logonserver%.  Also use %username% to get their specific folders.  It's
like the lame code in Nimbda and many scripts that use absolute paths
and not system variables.  They call for c:\winnt d:\winnt instead of
%windir% or %winnt%.  

eg.  logon.bat
copy %logonserver%\%username%\desktop c:\windows\desktop
echo congratulations %username% You just logged onto %logonserver%

Use the variables, save time. (above script is just an example, adjust
it for your own use)

Bruce and Jamie- thanks for that case fix. It worked perfect.

MEETING: I can't make it up there, like many folks.  Is it possible to
have a live chat session or broadcast so everyone can participate?
