GPO - Logonscript does not run on XP

I have a gpo applied to container users, which has also a logon-script in
it.
The gpo is applied when a user logs on from a win2k pro and the logonscript
is executed.
Same user logs in from a XP pro machine and nothing happens!

Any ideas? I was under the impression that it should not make any difference
wether you use xp pro or win2k pro ...
 
Run rsop and check that the logon script does run. If it does not run,
it might be due to ACL filtering (you can have a GP assigned to a
particular group and further refine the security settings of a logon
script or a software distribution package).

If it does show up, debug it by adding for example a message box at the
very beginning just to see that it starts.
Other test, locate it manually inside the sysvol folder and run it
manually to see what happens.

Don't forget that scripts can have different behaviour on w2k or XP if
they use WMI or VBScript - certain methods are not supported on w2k but
they are in XP.

This should get you started.
