Darren, Omar-
 
Thanks for the tips!
 
Okay, Oman, I navigated to the directory where the vscript is located
(the group policy has a unc path set for the directory of the script)
and was able to run it and subsequently map my drives in the script. I
simply right clicked on the script and choose "open with command prompt"
 
Darren- In the group policy for that script, I enabled "Run legacy logon
scripts hidden" and disabled "Run logon scripts visible".
 
Neither setting change made any difference and i ran gpudate a couple
times and rebooted twice.
 
So it looks like Vista runs the script fine, just not from within a GPO.
 
Michael

Michael-

What happens if you set the logon scripts to run hidden (using policy)?

Thanks Darren,

 

I just checked the Minasi boards and couldn't find anything there. I'll
keep googling and trying to see what's going on. I had not yet checked
the event log so perhaps something is in there as well.

 

I should have made my problem more clear. The VBS scripts are logon
scripts that basically map drives. Nothing too fancy.

 

Thanks again! Let's hope there is a solution besides the "will be
supported on Longhorn server group policies".

 

Michael

Michael-

My guess is that this is a UAC issue. I have heard it come up once
before with Vista. Not sure though-I will try to dig some more.

Hello all-

 

I am now running Vista in my windows 2003 domain and one of the first
things I noticed was that my VBS scripts that normally run on XP are no
longer being processed. 

 

Now is the problem stemming from the fact that the script is set in a
GPO and the Vista box can't interpret it or is it a security issue in
Vista that I have to dig through to allow it to run.

 

Thanks guys in advanced for any thoughts.

 

Michael
