> is there a way to run logon scripts from a DC when the client machines are configured for workgroup access and are not members of the domain ? the clients apparently still gain access to the files on the DC with their local account credentials, but logon scripts do not seem to run this way when they are members of the workgroup and just authenticate locally at signon. is there a way to run the logon scripts w/o making the clients join the domain ? thanks in advance

Yes, but you'll have to set a logon script for each local user account -
you can't do it with group policy or via AD. For a small amount of users
you can do this manually with the Local Users and Groups console. You
can also do this with the command line. If you have many users I can
probably dig up/write a script for you. What are your client OSs?
