What does the script do, exactly? Can you post it here? That may give us an idea of why it would hang.

The script is a user logon script, it is just applied to all members of
the domain. GPresult does show it in the user settings: applied GPO

So the script is a computer startup script and not a user logon script? Does
gpresult show the script and show which GPO its coming from? Another option
here is that you can reduce the timeout before scripts give up by setting
the policy at computer configuration\admin templates\system\scripts\maximum
wait time for GP scripts
