AD Group Policy logon/logoff scripts not working

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

Strangest problem...

I've written a Group Policy that will automatically deploy the a
utility to any server inside the OU it is assigned to in AD. I created
a 'test' OU folder in AD at and put two servers into it. I linked the
GPO to the test OU. It worked great. The software automatically
deployed.

So I modified the Group Policy and added a User Logoff script to run
the program. It doesn't work. I added a logon script to run
notepad.exe to test - it doesn't work. The policy is getting picked up
because it is installing the software. Why isn't it running the logon/
logoff scripts? I created a new GPO with logon/logoff scripts,
assigned it to the OU, and they don't run.

I don't see any related errors in the event viewer.

If I log into the servers and edit the LOCAL group policy, logon/
logoff scripts work perfect.


Why won't logon/logoff scripts run from the Active Directory group
policy?
