Hello,

I am having the darndest time getting a simple GPO to apply whenever a user logs in. The GPO is meant to run a script that maps a network drive, it is the second logon script GPO that is supposed to be applied for this specific usergroup following the normal ones that all employees get applied to them. But the second one doesnt apply. Let me explain a bit better:

--------------
OU
^---Computers
^---Groups
^^^^^^^---Group 1 <----GPO: MapNetworkDrives-B
^---Users <---- GPO: MapNetworkDrives-A

------------
GPO: MapNetworkDrives-A is meant to be applied on a Global level, so that all of our users get the same mapped network drive to drive S:.
GPO: MapNetworkDrives-B is meant for specific users that belong to Group1 to have a secondary mapped network drive to drive: Y:.
GPO: MapNetworkDrives-B is the one that is not applying, but GPO: MapNetworkDrives-A does.

Security Filtering:
* GPO: MapNetworkDrives-A = Authenticated Users (so everyone in my OU gets this one applied)
* GPO: MapNetworkDrives-B = Group 1 (where their deligation rights are set to Read (From Security Filtering)
-----------------------

Is there something in Group Policy that stipulates that only ONE login script GPO can be used? Is it because I'm doing this on a specific group ? I don't understand why this is not taking affect...it just makes no sense to me since I applied everything the same way as the initial script except the only thing I made different was its location (placing GPO: MapNetworkDrives-B inside the GROUPS OU and removing the Authenticated Users filtering and replaced it with a specific group that I wanted it to take affect on. You would think that the logic would follow.

Anyways - I thank you all in advance... I'll sit twidle my thumbs now.
