From: gimolu on 18 Nov 2009 13:18 HI, I am having a problem with a script that I have in user logon that maps some drives I need. Here is an example of the script: Dim objNetwork Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network") objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "L:", "\\server\share" objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "Y:", "\\server\share1" In the client computers I run he gpresult /v command and the script says that it has been executed accordingly. This is just a small part of the script because the drive map occurs if the user belongs to a specific group (and yes if I put a wscript.echo and it works great). I've run out off troubleshooting ideas! the script just won't run! Can someone point me to the right direction? PS: with the new Drive Maps Options of windows 2008 (CSE) I can map drives, however, I need this script up and running! Thanks, LR

Are you saying the script runs fine if you run it manually (as a normal user) after logon, but doesn't seem to run at all as a logon script? See this link for details on configuring logon scripts: http://www.rlmueller.net/LogonScriptFAQ.htm If the script runs fine manually, but doesn't seem to run as a logon script, add a lines to the script that either display messages to the user (using MsgBox statements), or that write information to a local file. Possibly the script raises an error. If you use "On Error Resume Next", remove that so you see the error message. Otherwise, you may need to post the script here so we can evaluate it. Some methods commonly used to evaluate group membership are flawed, for example. -- Richard Mueller MVP Directory Services Hilltop Lab - http://www.rlmueller.net --

HI Richard, Thanks for your reply. Yes, if I run the script manually (\\server\sysvol\.....) it works great, but as a logon script, not really. I'm applying it in GPMC (at the domain level). I'm sure the script is running because for troubleshooting issues I put some wscript.echo in the script just to see where it's at and it seems to be just fine. Actually I have a very similar script running on a testing server (sbs 2008) and it works fine. I can't find any major differences between the working and not working server using RSOP. I know that it's not because the slow link, etc. test it already. The script that I posted here doesn't work too! If I applied it, I have the same problem. I have no On Error Resume Next, so any errors should be reported. It seems that this line: objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "L:", "\\server\share"; won't work! Any ideas? Thanks again for your reply.
