thanks for the input.
getting to the desktop via autologon === no problem
running gpo scripts == no problem
as you pointed out the need to authenicate when we touch network drives multiple times === problem
each pc will be used by upwards of 30 people each day
I was looking for a utility like in the old win98 days that would present a logon box, type in your domain username and domain password, would then authenicate to the domain once.
again thanks for the ideas they are helpful and part of the overall plan, howver not the silver bullet.
