Hi Guys,

Thought i'd post an update - FINALLY found what the problem was - there was another policy that applied that stated that the logon scripts should be run synchronously - i changed it to 'not configured' changed the other policy to disable that setting (though i already had this - so i don't know why it wasn't overriding the setting - ah well another day) - logged on and away it went - so i think the original policy was stopping the 2nd policy from being applied properly...

gotta love w2k! ;-)
