Hi,

I have 2000 Advanced Server with 2000/XP workstations and laptops, and
created logon script which will only map network drives on the network for
clients. However, could not make it work for wireless laptops. If I hard wire
them everything is working fine.

I am also able to ping to wireless devices after logging off but no script
is being executed upon logging in to network.

What am I missing?

Furthermore, I was planning to force users to change their passwords thourgh
GP. How can I do this for Wireless devices?

Thank you very much in advance....

Your wireless network might not be ready when you start up
the PC. You could add a new value to
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters:
Name = ExpectedDialupDelay
Type = Reg_Dword
Value = 0 - 600 (Decimal)
This would cause the system to wait for a network connection.
 
Your first step should be to ascertain if the laptop actually
does attempt to run the domain-based login script. Insert
this line at the very top of your login script to get a confirmation:

if /i "%ComputerName%"==LaptopName echo Hello %UserName% & pause

Replace "LaptopName" with the NetBIOS name of your
wireless laptop.

If this line never executes then you will have to find out what's
wrong with your wireless connection.
