Re: Vista Logon Script

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Sorry, I haven't worked with Vista yet. Maybe others have. Does it help if
you use?

Set WSHNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

Perhaps the Wscript object is not allowed. Also, you might try to trap the
error and code something to indicate the error. Perhaps:
=============
On Error Resume Next
Set WSHNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
If (Err.Number <> 0) Then
Call MsgBox("Error number: " & Err.Number _
"Description: " & Err.Description _
"Source: " & Err.Source)
End If
Err.Clear
WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "G:", "\\SERVER\SHARE"
If (Err.Number <> 0) Then
Call MsgBox("Error number: " & Err.Number _
"Description: " & Err.Description _
"Source: " & Err.Source)
End If
On Error GoTo 0
=========
At least this will give you a clue as to which statement is the problem, and
what the error message might be. The person logging on should see the
message boxes.

These scripts work fine with XP. Here is a sample of what doesn't work:

Set WSHNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "G:", "\\SERVER\SHARE"

As I said previously the scripts work if I run them after logging on, just
not when run from a logon script.

Thanks,
Randy

I am working with the RTM release of Vista trying to get my
organization's
logon/logoff scripts working. I have found one problem that I need some
assistance with.

One of our logon scripts maps drives based on group membership. It
works
fine in Vista if it is ran once a user is fully logged in but does not
work
when ran via the logon script. I have tried the following things:

- Map the drive using WScript.Network.MapNetworkDrive.
- Map the drive using "net use".
- Making the script sleep for 30 seconds before mapping the drives.

Can you post a snippet of your script that duplicates the problem? Also,
does the script run correctly as a logon script on XP or W2k clients?
