Login Script Question

[Bob Sanderson]

Our office is running a Windows 2000 server and a number of workstations
running XP. I would like to setup login scripts for each of the users so
that mapped drives will be created when they login. I have created a login
script and placed it in the C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\sysvol\domainname.local\scripts
folder and I have put the name of the script in the individual users
profiles. If a user logs in to the server the script works but it doesn't
if they log on the their workstation. The Net Logon service is running on
the workstation. Am I doing something wrong or am I misunderstanding the
purpose of the logon script? Do I have to reference the script in the
user's profile on the workstation? If so, what do I put for the path?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It will not work if they are logging onto their workstations with a local
machine account instead of a domain account. You might try to use Group
Policy instead for your scripts. If you create a startup script in computer
policy, the script will apply to the machine itself regardless of who or how
a users logs into it. --- Steve

Sorry, I forgot to mention. They are logging on to a domain.
