asked on Can run User logon script on 2012 R2
Have to run a USER Logon script on 2012 server through GPO, but no matter what I do the script doesn't run.
The script is simple:
SUBST Z: N:\DIRECTORY
If I run script manually, it works well. - The same setting worked like a charm on 2003 server.
EDIT1: *I have configured COMPUTER - RDP - Configure Logon Script Delay to 0 minutes.
EDIT2: *I have tried putting explorer.exe and notepad.exe into script, and those two are run correctly. But the "SUBST Z: N:\DIRECTORY" wont run

The network services may not be ready when the script runs. So the drive mapping is not complete. As for test try and copy a file to N:.
As was said, better to create drive mapping with policy. Alternatively, try and put a time delay at the beginning of your script.

The problem is either that the users trying to use the SUBST command during ,logon do not have the required interactive admin rights or that SBST need to run with elevated rights. Will do some testing for you in the AM but in the meantime see if this info helps you.

If the script requires elevated rights to run, wouldn't it also require elevated rights when you run it manually?
For what it is worth, here is a blog that talks about running elevated rights: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/aaron_margosis/2007/06/29/faq-why-cant-i-bypass-the-uac-prompt/
Did you consider my suggestion? This will at least tell us if the problem is related to the network mapping.

Currently, I have the issue temporarily solved by HKLM registry hack, but will need to read the lionelmm blog to see what they say on the issue (I would prefer script solution).

This solved the problem, making server functional.
Login Scripts pretty much ended with Server 2003, everything now is done via Group Policy or Group Policy Preferences..
