Re: Problem:logon script does not run

No worries. Glad you sorted it.

Note. Logon scripts, via GPO, will run on a per user basis using the user's
credentials. Startup scripts run under the computer context, therefore run
under SYSTEM.

You have finer control with a GPO as you can give it a large default scope,
e.g. link to the domain, and then filter to only apply to certain groups of
users, etc.

Just a thought. If what you're using suits you that's fine. It just might
not be there in blackcomb ;-)
