A couple thoughts for you:
- It looks like the .vbs extension is associated
with notepad or another editor on the computer you tested, which is why it
opened for viewing or editing. Your logon script should be setup to call the
Windows Scripting Host explicitly with the path to the script file. For example
"cscript.exe c:\scripts\map-printer.vbs".
- I vaguely remember having problems a few years ago
when I started creating logon scripts when trying to map drives or printers
(can't recall which). These were all fixed by installing the latest version of
the Windows Scripting Host. You can download WSH 5.6 here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">.
- In your script you might want to create a text log
file that records the results of each action. If the log file isn't present, you
will know the script didn't even run. If it is present, it should have the
information you need to do further debugging.

The script runs in the background and I do not see it run.I copied the VBS script to the local computer and when I try to run it, it opens the script to view the language it does not run.Nothing in event view, which I find weird.When I run the gpresult /user, I do see the gpo listed in there.What locally could be preventing the script from running?Thanks for your help!-----Original Message-----Does the script not run or does it run but not properly?

Are there any clues in the event log?
Can you run the script manually from the workstation?
Are they receiving the GP over a WAN?
