DOCUMENT:Q130521 17-DEC-2000 [win95x] TITLE :Novell Password Cached and Login Script Processed Only Once PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 95.x Retail Product PROD/VER: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows 95 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you use the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks, Windows 95 does not prompt you for another Novell logon password in Network Neighborhood after you have logged off the Novell network server. Also, your login script is not processed again. CAUSE ===== When you log off the Novell server, you are actually logged off. However, your password is cached. When you try to access the Novell server again, you are logged back on using the cached password. Your login script is processed only at the initial logon. Subsequent logons in Windows 95 do not process the login script again. RESOLUTION ========== To prevent your logon password from being cached, use Policy Editor to disable password caching. Or, click Shutdown on the Start menu and then click the "Close all programs and log on as a different user" option in the Shut Down Windows dialog box. Using this option forces Windows 95 to prompt you for a new user name and password for logging on to the Novell server. After you log on again (whether as the same user or a different user), a password will be required for the Novell server and your login script will be processed again. STATUS ====== This behavior is by design. ====================================================================== Keywords : Technology : kbWin95search kbZNotKeyword3 ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
