Hi, I am having great problems with my logon scripts. I have Windows 2003 SBS installed and running fine, with Active Directory etc. Now I have setup a load of policies using GPMC, and they all are working great on my client XP machine, the only thing that isn't (which is the main thing I need) is the mapping of network drives. I have set it up in the GPMC under logon /logoff scripts. I have created a logon.bat file and here is the content: NET USE P: /delete NET USE U: /delete NET USE Z: /delete NET USE T: /delete NET USE P: \\sbs\Engineering\ NET USE U: \\sbs\Users\ NET USE Z: \\sbs\Archive\ NET USE T: \\sbs\ITSupport\ However this does not run under the GPO, or even if I run the file manually, there is diffinitely some stupid mistake I am making with the logon.bat file....! If some one could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

remove the \ at the end NET USE P: \\sbs\Engineering\ - Wrong NET USE P: \\sbs\Engineering - right

I would like to add a flash (either .swf or .exe) as a logon message/disclaimer where users have to accept the terms an conditions. I've seen it 3 years ago in a company and would like to implement it on my AD. I've already created the flash which will continue with logon when "accept" and will shutdown (shutdown command line built into the flash) when "decline". I've tried some options but wasn't happy about the behaviour; for example: the flash.exe as a logon script - can be disabled by the user and the shutdown doesn't work as a GPO\Computer Configuration\Admin Templates\System\Logon\Run these programs at user logon - users can stop by Ctrl-Alt-Del and shutdown doesn't work. Any idea how to do this? Will be appreciated! fodde

Have you thought about using special tools for scripting ? They can make your work much more easier and you will be free from possible script issues. For example, we use Scriptlogic's Desktop Authority (www.scriptlogic.com) for logon script management and just for all operations on remote desktops. We create drive mappings according to different deppartments with help of their validation logic. In your case, I'm not sure about flash logon message - we use our company logo and text legal notice with accepting it by pressing OK. It's the job for DA also.
