Guest CryptiniteDemon Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Okay, I made a simple .bat file to map a network drive on logon and put it under the group policy in an OU I made. The script is simply net use z: \\THETEST\FXI When I run the bat file manually from any of the computers it maps the drive just fine. However, when I login the script never maps the drive.

However, when I login the script never maps the drive. Perhaps the batch file never runs when you log in . . .? Modify it like so to make sure: @echo off echo The logon script %0 ran on %date% at %time% >> c:\logon.log net use z: \\THETEST\FXI net use pause

Guest stufeatherston@gmail.com Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Re: Group policy logon script doesn't run Did you place the login script in the startup folder of the corresponding policy? For example, browse to \\DomainController \SYSVOL\domain\Policies\GUIDofyourPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Startup ? Also did you link the GPO to the OU that contains the computers that you are trying to run this startup script on?

Actually, I think you might be right. Can you try wrapping that script in a vbscript and seeing if that works?
Guest Paul Mckenna Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Re: Group policy logon script doesn't run Wow no one has said I may be right before, I'm getting all emotional Maybe try creating a login.vbs file with the following Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") on error resume next wshnetwork.mapnetworkdrive "Z:"," \\THETEST\FXI" Hope this helps or at the very least gives you an idea on how to make it work.

Guest TimeTraveller Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Re: Group policy logon script doesn't run I only use .cmd scripts, and they run for both logoff and logon.
