I would recommend following the instructions from here to put together a startup script - my suspicion is that the way you are doing it, it is trying to run the script as the NTUSER/system credentials, which will not be allowed to follow the UNC.<br />

Have a Windows 2008 R2 domain. &nbsp;I created a cmd file which runs a vbscript file from the network.<br />
I created the group policy to run the cmd file ( I clicked show files , and placed the cmd there, it points to a unc path with the vbscript )<br />
<br />
Running the cmd there are no problems.<br />
<br />
Should XP be running this script for users each time they logon? &nbsp;It doesn't appear to run. &nbsp;I have it echo the results to a unc path and the results file doesn't show up after a user logs on.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
