Re: Startup Script from AD policy

Hi,

This KB article explains the error:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=156276

Per the KB, you need a new cmd.exe, plus registry changes. Another fix would
be to temporarily map a drive. For example:

Set objNetwork = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
Set winShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "K:", "\\193.136.66.26\NetLogon"
winShell.Run "cmd /c K:\sdat.exe /silent"
objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "K:", True, True
