Login Script

Hi
Not sure if this is the correct Newsgroup. I have a problem with my login
script. Is this controlled by group policy at all?

Basically, I have a Win2K3 Terminal server in a small domain with 2 domain
controllers all under :active directory, no workstations. The LOGIN.BAT
file is stored in the folder

C:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logon

The batch file simply maps up a series of drives for the users.

The problem I have is I am trying to set up a new batch file that does
different drive mappings for a couple of users. I have created a new batch
file LOGIN2.BAT and stored it in the same folder as above, then pick this
up in the user profile, in the same way that the other users pick up the
first login file. Trouble is, it still runs the first batch file. If I
leave the profile path and file name blank, it still runs the first batch
file, so there must be something else controlling it.

Any ideas

PS, I am not that familiar with group policy, (There is one) so please guide
me gently if this is the issue.
Thanks
Rowland
