The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

tbmon.exe                         Network Associates Error Reporting Service
updaterui.exe                         McAfee Update UI
userinit.exe                         Microsoft Userinit Logon Application
winword.exe                         Microsoft Word
wordpad.exe                         Microsoft Wordpad

The problem we are having is when a user logs onto a Windows XP machine their logon script doesn't run, however when they logon to a Windows 2000 machine it does.  If we turn this policy off and then log the user back onto a Windows XP machine their script will run which leads me to believe we need to add some more processes.  The logon script only maps network drives so we have tried including cmd.exe and net.exe in the above list but with no luck.

We have checked which processes run on the machines during the running of the logon script but cannot see anything we may have missed.  Can anyone tell us what we're missing?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
