I don't think gpupdate /force will actually execute logon scripts... Those only run at "logon". But, it will update settings... This will also not execute any software installations. And potentially prompt for a reboot to apply all settings. Doug Delaney GM Desktop Engineering Global Client Engineering GM 1075 W.

Mark, One more thing- you can add 1 line to the script you run after connection: gpupdate.exe /force (This will run the group policy if you already have your logon script within it) After all -this is a GP list..
