Accomplishing this by running a script at login in the GPO, instead of
the traditional login script?  Does the scripts in GPO process before or
after the logon script?

why not seperate the servers into seperate OU's and get rid of the logic
in the script.  Based on what OU the server is in, the user gets the
correct script.

        I have an application that runs on 2 different zones and uses

        I have login scripts set to delete and re-create that R: drive
based on what Citrix server they connect too (I check %computername%).
This causes issues where an app launches before the drive re-connects.
I can think of two ways to permanently fix this 

        1) Publish the app with a .cmd file and remap the login drive in
the app and then launch the app 
        2) Enable run logon script synchronously 

        The cmd files means I have to maintain these files on multiple
servers manually, more overhead.  Enabling synchronous logon scripting
has potential for heavy delays. 

        Now, my actual logon scripts are fairly basic, map some network
drives, run a .reg key, nothing fancy. I'm not deploying software via
login scripts, so I don't think I'd ever hit a situation where the login
script is chowing away for a long time, keeping the user from working. 

        I'm looking for advice from other as to which route I should
take, or for other suggestions.
