Windows 2000 Group Policy based Logon Scripts not working...
Enviro:
pure Win2k (server & desktop)
AD enabled, single domain
logon scripts placed in domain controller's logon script path
(Sysvol\DomainName\Scripts
Problem:
The logon scripts set under User Configuration\Windows Settings\Scripts (Logon/Logoff),
are not running at all. Have tried several different ones...
even simple .VBS with only msgbox and .BAT file launching only notepad.
Currently only using a "test" GPO and only applied to a "test" OU.
- This is the only GPO assigned to the test OU.
- This is the only GPO with Logon Scripts assigned
I have tried delete/rebuild multiple GPOs w/ Logon Scripts in case of
corruption. Same problem.
What works:
The production GPOs, on other OUs, work fine.
Browsing to the Sysvol\DomainName\Scripts dir manually, the user can
navigate there and run them just fine.
Also... using \\<serverDC>\netlogon (assigning via user profile)
works just fine.
I want to run both .VBS (WSH) and .BAT files... have tried many different
simple VBS & BAT files... nothing runs.
So...
It does not seem to be a permissions issue.
The scripts work fine when run manually so they are not the problem.
Can anyone help with this? What am I missing?
