Group policy logon script doesn't run

Okay, I made a simple .bat file to map a network drive on logon and put it
under the group policy in an OU I made.

The script is simply

net use z: \\THETEST\FXI


When I run the bat file manually from any of the computers it maps the drive
just fine. However, when I login the script never maps the drive.

Perhaps the batch file never runs when you log in . . .?
Modify it like so to make sure:

@echo off
echo The logon script %0 ran on %date% at %time% >> c:\logon.log
net use z: \\THETEST\FXI
net use
pause

I may be wrong but don't scripts in group polciy have to be VB script files?

Re: Group policy logon script doesn't run

Did you place the login script in the startup folder of the
corresponding policy? For example, browse to \\DomainController
\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\GUIDofyourPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Startup ?

Also did you link the GPO to the OU that contains the computers that
you are trying to run this startup script on?

Actually, I think you might be right. Can you try wrapping that
script in a vbscript and seeing if that works?
 
Re: Group policy logon script doesn't run

Wow no one has said I may be right before, I'm getting all emotional

Maybe try creating a login.vbs file with the following

Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
on error resume next
wshnetwork.mapnetworkdrive "Z:"," \\THETEST\FXI"

Hope this helps or at the very least gives you an idea on how to make it
work.

Re: Group policy logon script doesn't run

I only use .cmd scripts, and they run for both logoff and logon.

Alrighty, that was the problem. Thank you.
