Presumptious of me to assume that Greg is referring to my post, but just in
case he is... Greg has summed it up almost perfectly but I wanted to clarify
something. The login script has a line that "call"s the user's own
"autoexec", which is situated in their home directory. The reason that the
services are not started from within the common login script is most people
in the company do not use clearcase, yet we all use the same login script.
I provide the basic autoexec (to clearcase users) which starts the clearcase
services. They can then customise it further to start a view and mount vobs.
I tell people to never use the restart/remount at logon options otherwise
you always get error messages when disconnected. Also, if you don't start
the services then you don't need to do the "disable network operations" reg
hack.
With Windows 2000 you can stop and start the LAN exactly like dialup
connections - this removes the need for hardware profiles. Therefore, I
would implement my solution rather than setting the services to not start in
the undocked profile, as nobody will be using these profiles when they
upgrade to W2K.
Not sure if it makes a difference but the services are set to "manual", not
start on demand.

PS: This is the line of the login script that calls the user's autoexec:
if exist m:\autoexec.bat m:\autoexec.bat
In our case it's at the end of the script. m:\ is mapped to the user's home
directory. You set both the net logon script and the home directory mapping
in user manager or equivalent.
PPS: Here is a sample user autoexec...
@echo off
rem Start ClearCase services
net start albd
net start lockmgr
rem Instantiate a view
rem If you only use snapshot views comment out this section
net use w: \\view\jechlin_view
rem Mount vobs
rem Add a line like below for each vob you want mounted at startup
rem cleartool mount -a
rem cleartool mount \tmp_misc
rem Substitute a drive letter for the root of a snapshot view
rem If you only use dynamic views leave this section
subst z: d:\work\views\jechlin_snp
rem Microsoft NetMeeting
rem start d:\Programs\NetMeetingNT\conf.exe background
