Hello everyone,

I have a couple .vbs files running via Group Policy during login. For
most computers on the network (2,500+) the scripts are running fine. I
have 2-3 computers; however, that will not run the scripts.

The scripts are run by user but on a few machines they just don't seem
to run (these same users work fine on other machines, so I have it down
to machine). There are no error messages, it just doesn't run (even
when I run them manually).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? They are all running on Windows
XP.

Thanks for any help,

Tamara


Tamara,

I am thinking you will need to give a bit more detail. When you say
you ran them manually, you mean from a command shell via Cscript.exe ?

There are some old tricks for VBS files where you mess with the file
association so VBS based viruses wont be able to run on the system.
If you truley get no errors when running from a command shell and you
do on have an "On Error Resume Next" statment in your code, then I
would look for something related to this.

You may also want to re-install WSH, you can get the 5.6 download
at M$. I have seen a number of posts with wierd problems where a
re-install fixed it.
