Where to start. We have a new sever running 2003 standard edition, our client machines are running XP pro. I have written a logon script to map drives and printers and provide the user with information during the logon. I am trying to run this script at logon.
I have read many threads and visited the Microsoft website for information on how to achive this goal. Microsoft says I can call the logon script from the user profile or I can use a GPO. The threads I have read on this board indicate using a GPO I have tried both. I am only able to get the domain administrator account to run the script using the GPO.
Some info about my server follows.
-My server is set up as a DC=junge.cr.iowa
-My server name=Server
-My user accounts live in OU=Junge Users
-I made a GPO called Junge users in the OU=Junge Users which is enforced and link enabled and Security Filtering is set to Authenticated Users
-In the GPO under user configuratiion, Windows settings, scrpits, logon I have added my script called logon.kix (I browsed to the file and selected it)
-I have extracted my Kixtart files into my c$\netlogon directory and have also placed a copy of the script there.
-I noticed that when I hit show files from the Logon properties page that the path for the logo scrpit is different from the netlogon location, so I copied all the Kixtart files and my logon script to this location which is
\\Junge.cr.iowa\SYSVOL\Junge.cr.iowa\Policies\{ee002670-(yada yada) 30a4}\users\scripts\logon
My Netlogon directory lives in \\Junge.cr.iowa\Netlogon
-I have checked security on these folders and find that authenticated users have read&execute, read, list folder content and read permissions.
-In my GPO i have set under admin templates, system, scripts Run logon scripts synchronously enabled and Run logon scipts visible to enabled. I have also se my group policy refresh interval for users to enabled and the time to 0 for testing purposes.
I have used my file server manager to check opened files during logon and find that if I logon with my test account it opens \\Junge.cr.iowa\SYSVOL\Junge.cr.iowa\Policies\{ee002670-(yada yada) 30a4}\gpt.ini
When I logon with an administrator account I it opens \\Junge.cr.iowa\SYSVOL\Junge.cr.iowa\Policies\{ee002670-(yada yada) 30a4}\User\Scripts\Scripts.ini then it opens wkix32.exe from my home direcory on the server and executes the script.
I hope this information will help some one help me figure out what is going on and why I can't run the script for regular Domain Users.

Another interesting piece of info when I wrote the script I wrote it in my home directory. I removed Kixtart and the script from my home directory now it won't run the scrpit when I logon like it did before.... HMMMMMMMMM

Thanks for the info. I removed the GPO for the group and used the user profile to run the script. On the property sheet for the use under logon script I put (Wkix32.exe logon.kix No path info) I just made sure that the executable and the script lived in \\server\netlogon. it worked but did not display the screen, a small glich that I will overcome. Thanks again.
