Logon Script Trouble

Hi! I could really do with an answer to this one if
anyone can help!

We have two offices, each at one end of the building.
Both of these use the same DC as the logon server.

As the users roam around sometimes, I want to use a script
to automatically connect them to the correct printer
shares, dependent on which office they are using.

I have written two scripts which connect the users to the
correct shares, and these work absolutely fine when I run
them manually from the command prompt.

I have created two OU's in active directory, which each
hold the computer accounts appropriate to the office they
represent. I have created a GPO on these OU's, and set
the appropriate logon script to run when the user logs on.

Everything should be fine right? Wrong! The script doesn't
seem to run at all. My printer shares are not being
connected at logon.

The scripts are in the default location in SysVol (I have
tried other locations to no avail).

If anyone has an answer to this I'd be extremely grateful!

I am just going by what you have listed here. You say that you have the
"computer accounts" in the OUs, but you have established a "logon script".
Logon scripts are for user accounts, not computer accounts. What you should
do is setup a "startup script".
