cyri cyri Getting the hang of it Registered: 2005-06-27 Posts: 95	I wanted to ask everyone what there opinion is on Netlogon vs. Sysvol. What are the benefits? What are drawbacks? I do some scripting, but I don't manage the servers (different group). As it stands now, we have scripts on network drives, scripts inside GPO's, and scripts inside the Netlogon share. What I would like to do is relocate all scripts to the Netlogon share so that we have a script repository to make things easier to manage. The server guys are telling me Netlogon is legacy and they won't put Group Policy scripts out there. I don't get it personally. I've done plenty with GPO and I hate doing it every time. There is no way to find your script unless you edit the GPO, browse to script area, click show files. Just to get to the point where I can edit the dang script. Not to mention the fact that it's buried under a million folders and GUID's on the SYSVOL. Oh by the way we are running in a mixed mode, Win2k and Win2k3 DC's. What do you all think?

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Why not just put all the scripts in the scripts folder on sysvol (maybe sorted on the task it does or alphabetically this all depends on the number of scripts imho) and let the GPO call it from there? Been doing it like this for some time now and it works great and no need to go on a field trip to find your script.

I was the project lead on our AD design and the way we did it was to layout a folder structure under NetLogon that matched the OU structure. That way each OU admin can have a space in NetLogon to use either for legacy scripts or for GPO scripts. Works a treat. Not sure what Mart is talking about because there can be as many scripts folders as there are GPOs. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

We have almost no functionality in our logon script besides the calling of extra scripts to do the wanted/needed tasks. This way the number of scripts can become fairly large. With some kind of sorting mechanism by task the script does, by alphabet or like you said by OU, whatever it would be easier to locate the one script you need if you must/want to update the script. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.
