I don't think we have any magic answers for you and have not previously seen the problem you are reporting.
How many computers have to tested? On how many computers does this problem occur? Are you running VMware on ALL your computers? Why did you install that software for logon script testing?
We will need you to perform more testing and report the results before we can offer more advice.

Sorry for bugging u guys, I am worried because I have to deploy this script tomorrow, I tested 5 machines and it ran well on all PC’s except one which I installed VMWare. My concern is if it is because of VMware I don’t mind because we have it installed on only 2 PC’s other ways it would be a big issue because I have so many conditions using group check in my script.
What I felt was it may be a bug in this version because earlier version bringing the group information from the logon server whereas this one is caching it in a registry key from the access token. And it proved that a PC is having more than one protocol this function may not work properly.
This is my opinion I may wrong…..

Are you testing this script execution in the base OS or in the VMware OS instance? Does the script fail on bith the base OS instance and in the VMware OS instance?
Thanx for that informative link, I tested this script on another vmware installed PC and it worked there, so far it failed only one PC where VMware installed, when I tested on VMware OS it worked whereas it is failing on the installed PC OS. Strange!!!
vmware is installing a protocol known as “VMWARE BRIDGE PROTOCOL” which is enabling virtual machine to get IP address from the DHCP.
There is no additional tuning is required for this protocol we just need to enable that option while setup OS on VMware.
Since I found problem only in one PC I think I can go ahead with deployment what do you think ? do I need more testing ??
