SYMPTOMS
When you log onto a computer running Windows NT, either locally or from
another Windows NT Server or Workstation, your logon script does not run.
It runs normally when you log on from a computer running Windows for
Workgroups.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when the Windows NT 3.5 Server primary domain
controller (PDC) that finds the script fails to parse the computer name
correctly because of a space in the computer name.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use an underscore, dash, or another character
in place of the space in the computer name, or upgrade to Windows NT Server
3.51.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5.
This problem was corrected in Windows NT version 3.51.
