System Policies on LANtastic Server Are Not Implemented

ID: Q187220

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 98

SYMPTOMS

When you have a system policy file stored on a LANtastic server, the policies may not be implemented on workstations that connect to the server.

CAUSE

System policies are not supported on LANtastic 7.0 networks because network connectivity with the server is not established during the initial login.

RESOLUTION

Store the system policy file on a Microsoft Networking or a Novell NetWare server.

MORE INFORMATION

When you start Windows, the portion of the startup process that processes the system policy file is run before the LANtastic network component. Windows cannot gain access to the system policy file because LANtastic connectivity has not yet been established.
