W2K logon script problem

[DVNT1]

Does anyone successfully use AD's User logon script (defined in GP at the OU level) successfully?

I created a simple test logon script but it doesn't work.

Script is...

Quote:

' declare variables
dim wshnetwork

' suppress error messages
on error resume next

' set reference to WSH network object
set wshnetwork=wscript.createobject("wscript.network")

' remove network drive in case it is already in use
wshnetwork.removenetworkdrive "m:"

' add network drive
wshnetwork.mapnetworkdrive "m:","\\ironman\data"

' add connection to a network printer
wshnetwork.addwindowsprinterconnection "\\godzilla\MO-LJ5000"

When I manually logonscrpt.vbs at the workstation under this test domain user it maps the drives and installs the printer. So the script itself seems okay.

This logonscrpt.vbs is replicating to all DCs so that is not a problem.

I checked the GP at the workstation with GPresults.exe. The related output is:
================================================== =============
The user received "Scripts" settings from these GPOs:

Acct logon script
Revision Number: 4 (Active Directory) 4 (Sysvol)
Unique Name: {2FD1B99A-B338-4538-84C8-F409494079E4}
Domain Name: xxxxx.com
Linked to: Organizational Unit (OU=xxxxx,OU=xxxxx,DC=xxxxx,DC=com)


Logon scripts specified in: Acct logon script
\\xxxxx.com\SysVol\xxxxx.com\scripts\logonscrpt.vb s


================================================== =============
...so it shows the user/workstation is getting the script information.

Help! Why doesn't this <<biting tongue here>> thing work!

I'm assuming that wonderful most useful (LOL yeah right) tool eventviewer shows nothing?

try to run the logonscript from command line to see if it gets errors that way

C:\>cscript logonscript.vbs

Copied the script locally and ran it with the cscript logonscrpt.vbs, worked fine, no errors.

Did it again but from the sysvol location (same as logon script does) and worked fine again, no errors.

Event viewer does not show any errors. Did show the successful manual run when it copied the printer drivers.

Figured it out!


In the GP I had to set User Configuration|Administrator Templates|System|Logon/Logoff|Run Scripts syncronously to Enabled


This may have something to do with the fact I have the Novell Client32 and related logon scripts running too.
