I'm trying to make personalized logon scripts, one per user. Starting out with low risk user, me. Regardless of what I do, the WS wont run the script from the server during logon. If i run the script manually, it works fine. The script is on all the servers so I can't be logging in to the wrong machine. Sometimes the logonscript does pop up during logon, but it's not actually donig anything, it just blinks a black square which a REALLY FAST viewer might reckognise as a DOS box. ergardless of lines in the script (i.e. "pause") i still dont get my script on my client.

Does anyone have ANY hints? I'm getting desperate here :(

Assuming script in right place on server & user setup to pick it up correctly - did you run it manually on the machine it will actually run on, under same user?
Can you give us an idea of what the script does?

Make sure the sharename or server name where the script is located is not longer than 8 characters. Login scripts are DOS scripts and it won't recognize a servername or sharename that is longer than 8 characters. Several of my students made this same mistake and once they renamed their shares, their scripts worked.
