2003 netlogon script

I have been trying to make a simple script work that maps a drive to a user when he/she logs on to the network at any computer. So far i can only get this working locally on a machine. I would like to make it work so i can just add the login scipt under each profile. Can anyone give me advice on how to do this. Currently i have created the following to make this work locally. C:windows\system32\repl\imports\scripts i made the scripts share name as netlogon and have the script of course under the scripts folder. Under the logon script in the profile i added \\computername\netlogon\netlogon.bat any advice or help is much appreciated.

Hurm, easy huh? If your read my post i have done that and have achieved getting the script to succesfully run locally, however if i sigh on to another computer with the same logon name the script will not run. It's obviously not as easy as adding a script path to lead to your batch file/script. A key thing to get it to work locally is to have whatever folder you have the script in, share name as netlogon, so obviously you dont know what your talking about. Once again i am trying to get this script working for a domain, and have it so i can add the logon scripts on my 2003 server for each user under the active directory users and computers in the logon scripts under each profile. So before your get all COCKY like Alvess and say it's easy please make sure you know what your talking about. Thanks to the other replies as well excluding alvess.

Hi
In the logon script box for the user you say you have put in \\computername\netlogon\netlogon.bat, you should only have netlogon.bat, when the computer logs onto a domain controller it automatically knows \\domaincontrollerivloggedonto\netlogon is where the logon script is help, what you'r asking it to do is run the script at \\domaincontrollerivloggedonto\netlogon\\computername\netlogon\netlogon.bat, which is why its not working...
