SYMPTOMS
In LAN Manager, failure of a network request command during a logon script from Windows would cause the script to pause a long time before returning control to the user.



CAUSE
The problem arose from the way the timer was being kept. When a NET ERROR occurred (for instance, a NET USE to a non-existent server) the Windows procedure would not receive timer ticks, so it would introduce a delay before ending the logon script window.



RESOLUTION
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in LAN Manager versions 2.1a and 2.2. This problem was corrected in the latest US Service Pack for LAN Manager. The fix changed the logic to use a count to check for time elapsed since the dialog was started and to abort the logon script based on this.
