Win98, Logon script & finding logon server
Hi All,
a simply addendum (we use something like Mark posted here): I can happen,
that, for some local reasons, a remote BDC send his answer faster, than the
local BDC. Take that into account!! I had a logonprotocol running for some
weeks and this behavior is reproducable.....
Best regards,
