I first put the script in \sysvol\<domain>\scripts. When the script did not
run, tried it in \sysvol\<domain>\policies\{C9D6F3...}\User\Scripts\Logon.
The script still did not run. It was configured in a GPO for an OU that was
'3 deep', that is ou=A,ou=B,ou=C,dc=domain,dc=com. Only when I moved the GPO
login script configuration to the domain policy did the script run. Oh, and
put the script back in \sysvol\<domain>\scripts.

Further to this, I was not forcing synchronization of my DCs prior to
testing the script, although I did run gpupdate from my machine. Don't know
if this plays into whether or not a script runs, but there it is.

I had hoped to assign the scripts to certain users/computers based on the OU
the script was assigned to, but it didn't seem to work. So I employed
ifmember.exe into the script, and that does fine as well.

Sorry about the duplicate post earlier, but I got an error from
microsoft.com on the first post, and I never saw it appear in the community
yesterday.

So are login scripts pretty much limited to the domain policy GPO, and no
deeper in the tree?

Thanks!
