WSH Scripting

[Jeff]

I am starting to write WSH scripts for logon. We
upgraded from NT 4.0 domain to AD. The users were moved
to their own OU and each group was moved to seperate OUs
off of the root. I wrote a script for the users at logon
and it works fine. However, when I add a seperate script
to another OU, it doesnt run. Launching them off of the
desktop works without a problem. What am I missing?
Thanks.

Jeff, from the description you might want to check the following.
Make sure that you are applying this logon script to a policy that is linked
to the OU that the user accounts reside. Policies will not apply to a group
that a user is a member of.

Check the Application event logs on the client for any errors.
You can run a gpresult on the client for more specific errors or to ensure
that the policy is being seen.

I found the document about that but it said that I could
set it up by modifying the securities. I tried that and
still no luck. Basically, I need a way to keep the users
in one OU and apply a policy based upon the groups in
which they reside without moving the user there. Some of
our users are in up to 5 dufferent groups. Any ideas?
Thanks.
