Windows 2000 AD Logon Scripts and Windows XP Pro

[Guest]

Question from an AD newbie:

I have a 2000 AD setup with a user logon script that simply maps a drive to
a share on my server. As it sits right now, the script runs fine on a Win2000
Pro PC, but when I add a Windows XP pro PC to the domain, the script does not
run. The user gets GPO and group based security settings, but doesn't run the
logon script.

Anything I can look for?

Hello,
Have you run the command line based tool gpresult to find out if the policy
are applied or not. Is there any relevant issue in the event viewer logged?

No.. I haven't run gpresult. I don't see any relevant entry in the event
viewer, but I'll check again. I'll run that tonight, and get back.

I have the Win2000 PCs configured properly, and I am getting the drive
mapping from the script (I added an echo command to verify). DNS is pointing
to the DC via DHCP.

Thanks,

Barry

If the user already has that drive letter in use, it will not map.

If you are trying to map X:

if exist X: net use X: /delete
net use X: \\server\.....

No.. I haven't run gpresult. I don't see any relevant entry in the event
viewer, but I'll check again. I'll run that tonight, and get back.

Unfortunately, that drive is not mapped.

I placed an echo statement in the script to verify that it at least runs,
but no luck. The script will run on the W2K machine, however..
