Greetings-

Single site, single domain; W2K3 DCs; XP Pro workstations. In the user
object on the Profile tab, there is a section named 'User Profile'. In this
section there are two fields: one for Profile Path, the other for Login
Script. I want to use a supplementary login script for some users (in
addition to the one pushed by a Group Policy Object), and hoped to be able
to have them process a script on the server. I used the following path:
\\domain.com\SysVol\domain.com\Policies\{EECA2CC9-4B9E-43A8-88EB-2BED2D1426C
A}\User\Scripts\Logon\steve.vbs My assumption is that this path is
accessible by all users.

The contents of the file is: WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "Q:",
"\\Server1\Share1\Data\Steve", False

I logged out and back in but I didn't get my drive mapping. Can you tell me
why?!
 
Place the script in NETLOGON share and type just the name of the script in
the Logon Script field

We are using W2K3 Standard Edition. It says in the Help, "
a.. For most members of the Windows Server 2003 family, the default location
for local logon scripts is the %systemroot%\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts
folder, which is shared using the share name netlogon. However, Windows
Server 2003, Standard Edition, does not create this folder. How would I
create it?

Since my first post, I did move the script file to
\\domain.com\SysVol\domain.com\scripts This still did not map my drive, so
I changed the file to a batch file and used the NET USE command. This did
not work, either. More ideas, please...

Make sure the script runs. by add PAUSE to a batch script or msgbox "Hello
World!" to an VB Script.

Ran script from my workstation before copying it up to the server. It worked
great from here...

Yes. I've tried both just the name of the file (steve.vbs or steve.bat) and
the UNC ( \\domain\SysVol\domain\scripts\steve.vbs (or steve.bat)

Yes, this is set up just like in our Test LAB:

At the NETLOGON Share:

Domain Admin=Full Control
Authenticated Users=Full Control
Everyone=Read and Execute

At the scripts folder, which is also shared:

Domain Admins=Full Control
Everyone=Read and Execute
