DOCUMENT:Q142330 17-DEC-2000 [win95x] TITLE :User-Level Security Not Enabled with Custom Setup Script PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 95.x Retail Product PROD/VER:95 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:msnets win95 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows 95 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== After you use the Server-Based Setup tool (Netsetup.exe) to create a custom Setup script that is designed to enable user-level security, user-level security may not be enabled when you install Windows 95 from the shared Windows 95 folder on the server. CAUSE ===== When you use Netsetup.exe to create a custom Setup script and specify that user-level security should be enabled, the following line is added to the custom Setup script UserSecurity= where is the type of security agent used to provide pass-through validation for user-level security. Pass-through validation can be provided by a Microsoft Windows NT domain, a Windows NT-based computer, or a Novell NetWare server. RESOLUTION ========== To work around this problem, use one of the following methods: - Use a text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the custom Setup script and modify the "UserSecurity=" line so that it reads Security= where is the type of security agent used to provide pass- through validation for user-level security. - Use the Batch Setup tool (Batch.exe) to create your custom Setup script instead of the Server-Based Setup tool. Batch.exe is located in the Admin\Nettools\Netsetup folder on the Windows 95 CD-ROM. You can install this tool using the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel. You can also install Batch.exe as part of the Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit. NOTE: The Batch Setup tool is included in the CD-ROM version of Windows 95, but not in the floppy disk version. To use the Batch Setup tool you must have the CD-ROM version of Windows 95. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. REFERENCES ========== For additional information about Server-Based Setup in Windows 95, please see chapters 4 and 5 of the Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit. For additional information about creating batch Setup files with Batch.exe, please see the consult the Help system in the Batch Setup tool.
