SYMPTOMS
When a user is selected while setting up a computer in the Setup Computer Wizard of the Manage Server Console, any custom logon script information for that user is lost.



CAUSE
During the administration of a computer in the Setup Computer Wizard, a user must be selected to associate with this computer so that Small Business Server (SBS) software can be pushed to that computer when the user logs on. As a part of this process, any logon script associated with that user is overwritten with a default template logon script. Any custom changes in the logon script are lost.



RESOLUTION
One possible workaround to help with this problem would be to copy the custom logon scripts to a safe location and then replace the default system logon script after you set up the computer.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
