Consider the following scenario. In an Active Directory domain environment, you deploy a user logon script to client computers in the domain. The logon script contains calls to Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI), such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) queries. However, every time that a user logs on to the domain from a Windows Vista-based client computer, the client computer takes a long time (about 10 minutes) to process the logon script. During this time, no other ADSI queries can be executed.

This issue occurs if the ADSI call in the logon script involves downloading a schema cache file.

On a computer that is running the English version of Windows Vista, the Manage-bde.wsf script does not display non-English characters in the output in the Command Prompt window.

On a computer that has Windows Internet Explorer 7 installed, you try to use a drag operation to move or resize an Internet Explorer window or the window of another application. However, you receive the following error message:

An error has occurred in the script on this page
Line: LineNumber
Char: CharacterNumber
Error: Access is denied.
Code: 0
URL: URL

This problem occurs if a script in the window runs the windows.resizeTo method or the windows.moveTo method when you try to move or resize the window.

On a computer that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, you enable the “Run logon scripts synchronously” Group Policy. When you try to log on, the Welcome screen may be displayed for 30 seconds. Then, the logon script interacts with you before the logon script process continues. For example, the script prompts you to confirm a dialog box.

Note: The “Run logon scripts synchronously” Group Policy setting is in the following location in the Group Policy Management Console:
Local Computer Policy\User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Logonff

Consider the following scenario. You have Windows Internet Explorer 7 installed on a computer that is running one of the following operating systems:

• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1
• Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2

You try to run a script contains more than 32,767 instructions in a single scope. In this scenario, you may receive a script error.
Note: You also experience this symptom on a computer that is running Windows Vista.
