Re: AD GPO Cannot run logon script

It is just a simple vbs script to mount a drive, here it is:

'
' MainLogon.vbs
'
' Variables Declared
'
Option Explicit
'
Dim objNetwork, objShell
Dim CheckDrive, AlreadyConnected, intCounter
Dim strDrvLetter_R, strRemotePath_R
Dim strDrvLetter_S, strRemotePath_S
Dim strDrvLetter_T, strRemotePath_T
Dim strDrvLetter_F, strRemotePath_F
Dim strDrvLetter_M, strRemotePath_M
'
' Set the Variables
'
strDrvLetter_R = "R:"
strDrvLetter_S = "S:"
strDrvLetter_T = "T:"
strDrvLetter_F = "F:"
strDrvLetter_M = "M:"
'
strRemotePath_R = "\\psw-900700\PSWPolicies"
strRemotePath_S = "\\psw-900700\PSWShared"
strRemotePath_T = "\\psw-900700\PSWData"
strRemotePath_F = "\\psw-900700\Accounting\FundAccounting"
strRemotePath_M = "\\psw-900700\Accounting\mas90"
'
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
Set CheckDrive = objNetwork.EnumNetworkDrives()
'
' Check to see if the R: Drive is mapped.
'
On Error Resume Next
AlreadyConnected = False
For intCounter = 0 To CheckDrive.Count - 1 Step 2
If CheckDrive.Item(intCounter) = strDrvLetter_R Then AlreadyConnected = True
Next
'
If AlreadyConnected = True Then
objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive strDrvLetter_R
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDrvLetter_R, strRemotePath_R
objShell.Popup "Drive" & strDrvLetter_R & "Disconnected, then connected
successfully."
'
Else
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDrvLetter_R, strRemotePath_R
objShell.Popup "Drive" & strDrvLetter_R & "Connected successfully."
End If
'
'
' End of the line...
'
WScript.Quit
'

I can run this script from the local XP system and it runs just fine.

I have put the script in the c:\windows\SYSVOL\(Domian)\scripts directory.

It also shows up in the \\(server)\netlogon directory.

I also setup the user properties to run the script and it does not.

Hello SoylentGreen,

You can not link policies to the user/computer containers. You have to link
policies to OU's.

You should better design you AD structure for your needs and add OU's for
machines and users. This will help you getting a better overview. If you
leave anything at the default location you can/will also link policies to
accounts/machines where you don't like to have them, also configure your
own policies and leave the default ones on there location and do not modify
them, if you have to rollback because of errors or policies are screwed up,
you can easily go back to the default state.

Please post the content of the login script. What kind of script do you run,
..vbs .bat .cmd? If you link a policy to an OU for the user or the computer
you will see the policy also in the gpresult output, either after a reboot
or running gpupdate /force on the client. Additional you can wait up to 90
minutes for autorefresh of the policy.

Best regards

I am trying to setup a new server w/AD. I DO NOT have OU's and all the
users are in Users, there are just a few users. The script runs just
fine, I have tried it on the local XP workstation, so there is no
problem with the script.

I put the logon script in the default policy in the users logon. Does
not work!;(

I put it in the user properties. Does not work!;(

I created a new GPO assigned it to Domian Users. Does Not Work!;(

The script is in the proper location(s).

I have to be missing something, besides pulling my hair out.

Here is the gpresults from a test workstation:
