I can run my login script localy and it works perfectly, but when I log off my machine and log back in so it runs the script from the server I only get one drive mapped "T" , any Ideas. It is a very basic script

You state that the script works when you run it locally. How exactly are you doing that? Are you running the script from the server or are you running a local copy?
If you are running a local copy please update the script on the server. then verify that you scripts are replicating proper across your domain controllers.
when it works it is running from a local copy, every thing works great it will map all 3 drives and map the printer. I upload the same .kix file to the domain controller, then log off and log back in and it only maps the T:

Well are you placing the files in the correct replication folder and then verifying that the PDC and ALL BDCs have the exact same copy of the files ?
If it works locally there is no reason it won't work the same from the Server during logon unless you have some other odd type of permissions or something like that.

Because "?" is not a print statement. There is an FAQ on this if you are interested.
In fact putting "?" at the start of the line that you want to output is probably not the best way of doing it, as it doesn't allow earlier code to determine where the output will start.
The "?" at the start of the output line is how most of the examples in the KiXtart manual are written, which has lead to the misconception that it is a "print" command.
In most cases it doesn't matter, so long as you understand what it is actually doing.
Ok I tried both configs that you suggest (thank you both) but I am still having the same issue, it runs fine localy but only maps the T: when run from the server script. I have check the permissions on all folders I am trying to map and they are all the same. I am taking over this network from an administrator who had no prior experiance with networking so I am not sure if that may be the cause for my problems, but are there any other suggestions? Thank you

Could you be running two different versions of KiXtart - one on the local computer and something different from the server? If so, the version on the server may be sufficiently old that it can not properly interpret the script and ABENDs.
In windows 2003 running active directory and exchange, is there a different place that it looks for the login script that you specify in the user profile other that netlogon?

Please post:
1: The value you have in the user account profile that calls the script. 2: The batch file use to invoke the script if item #1 calls a batch file. 3: The complete script you are attempting to execute.
Please try:
1: Open a CMD window 2: In the CMD window, invoke the same command adding the appropriate fully qualified UNC path for the command listed in the account profile. 3: Post the text ouput from the CMD window.
so I am not sure if that may be the cause for my problems, but are there any other suggestions? Thank you
