Where is logon script located

By default, on Windows NT 3.x and 4.0 DC and workstations, the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Repl\Import\Scripts folder is shared as NETLOGON for
saving logon script. On Windows 2000/2003 servers, the
%SystemRoot%\Sysvol\Sysvol\domainname\Scripts folder is shared as NETLOGON.
On Windows 2000/XP workstation, the default location for local logon scripts
is the %Systemroot%\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts folder. The
%Systemroot%\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts folder is not created on a new
installation of Windows. Therefore, the
%SystemRoot%\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts folder must be created and shared
out with the share name netlogon.
