I am having issues with simple login scripts in a Windows 2003 environment
that contains mostly XP machines. Im mapping a drive in a batch file:


Net use z: \\MachineName\ShareName

Heres what I am doing:
1. I goto the 'Group Policy Management' tool and select the OU containing
the users I want this script to apply to.
2. Right click the ou name and select 'Create and link a GPO here' then
assign it a name when prompted
3. Right click the new policy and select 'edit'
4. Goto 'computer configuration\windows settings\scripts\startup'
5. Click 'show files' - copy my batch file to this location - click edit and
select the batch file.
6. My batch file is now displayed.
7. Close all windows

This however does not work. I have logged in after waiting a couple of
minutes with no luck. one of my books reckons that the batch file needs to
be in winnt\sysvol\sysvol or else it wont work. Tried it - doesnt work
either.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here and why this OU fails to apply
that batch file at logon? Ive even tried putting the machines into the OU
but that doesnt work either.

Thanks for any help.
 
Since you want the script to apply to users, you need to go under User
Configuration instead of Computer Configuration.
