What calls up your VB Script program? Do you have any
control over it? If so, turn it into a pure batch command!
"\\domainx.com\netlogon.bat"
This would be equivalent to your current VB Script program
but much simpler. It also avoids the timing issue.

We are using kixart in our login process. I cant really modify for the
login.bat file, because it would cause issues with people logging in
normally.

I suppose I could call up the text file with the actuall mapped drives and
parse it for UNC paths. Put those UNC paths into an array and then map
them.

Put the "net use z: /d" into "login.bat".

You could simplify things considerably if you used UNC coding
for your logon script. In this case you would not need to map
or unmap a share to drive Z:.

Well, I moved on and decided to map a network drive, run the bat file,
then
disconnect the network drive.

Only one problem. The network drive disconnects before the bat file
finishes
running.

What is the most gracefull way to fix this new issue (create a timer?)?

Set objNetwork = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
Set ADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://"; & ADSysInfo.UserName &"")
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Wscript.echo "z:\"& objUser.ScriptPath

objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "z:", "\\domainx.com\netlogon"
wshshell.run "z:\folder\login.bat"
objNetwork.RemoveNetworkDrive "z:"

I want to create a script the user can run that pulls his

Is there a way to simply restart the login process (the part that goes
to
that location and runs the specified script)?

So far I have a script that get the correct field, but I dont know how
to
run/launch a bat file using that information. Ive tried wscript.run
and
wsshell.run, but they dont seem to work. Any suggestions?

Set oNet = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
Set ADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://"; & ADSysInfo.UserName &"")
Set WshShell = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Wscript.echo "Script Path: \\domain.loc\netlogon\ou\"&
objUser.ScriptPath
'wscript.run "\\domain.loc\netlogon\ou\"& objUser.ScriptPath
'wshshell.run "\\domain.loc\netlogon\ou\"& objUser.ScriptPath


Set oNet = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Network")
Set ADSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo")
Set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://"; & ADSysInfo.UserName &"")
Set WshShell = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
