logon script won't run without local admin rights

[Guest]

I have just built a test windows SBS 2003 domain and the logon script will
not run for a domain user unless they are given local admin rights on the
computer. I have found from trial and error that this only happens on
Windows XP not 2000. The logon script simply maps a network drive. Once I
am logged in I can file browse to the script and run it no problem. No error
is generted after the failed mapping. Yes I have the policy set to always
wait for the network at computer logon and startup. Does anyone have any
ideas about this one?

What's in the login script?

Seems like an xp service pack 2 issue. Please run the file manually on the
computer once and chose allow allways?

It's not a service pack 2 issue. I tried using sp1 and sp2 with the same
result. The logon script is:

net use i: \\test.local\Inter-Office

I don't think the logon script is the problem. In the parameter of the
logon script I have the output going to a text file. When a domain user logs
in no file is created. When a local admin logs in the file is created, even
if the file doesn't exist it will still write to a file to say the file
doesn't exist. Like I said it works fine in 2000, so I am assuming that this
is an XP issue.
