SBS 2003 Logon script won't run from default domain policy
I have a new SBS 2003 server.
I created a login script and put in under the default folder for scripts for the default domain policy. I even ran group policy results top make sure it was not being blocked (it was not.)
When I logon as a user locally at the server, the script ran fine. When I logged on from a workstation - nothing. I have done this before and not had such problems. Is there an SBS setting that might block the default domain logon script from running from a workstation.
Thanks.

as Jeff suggests, return the Default Domain Policy back to default.
Create a new policy to hold just the logon script.
Apply this policy at the user container level.

In my case the problem was that I had included a path in the users login script property.
(Server Management \ Users \ <Some User Properties> \ Profile \ Logon Script)
I have "\\domain.local\netlogon\S
It should only be "SBS_LOGIN_SCRIPT.bat" (without the path)

This was driving me batty until I read sravenscroft's comment about the path exclusion. Thanks sravenscroft, you saved my sanity!
