Another admin installed Win2k Pro on 20 machines. My Logon (batch files) scripts will not run on these pc's. The scripts go as far as opening the servername\netlogon window (I can view all of my scripts in the window), but the batch files do not run. I have searched high and low in Local Policy. The pc's are on a domain and the Domain Policies are in effect and working. Obviously some local policy is set and overriding a "not configured" domain setting. Any ideas or help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Local Policies don't work when there is a domain wide policy. So your conclusion is incorrect.
To narrow down where the problem is, first copy the batch file localy. Open a command prompt and run it and see the on screen results. If it runs fine then the problem is that the users don't have the rights to run the script from the NETLOGON share. If there is a problem overthere also then it has nothing to do with the fact that it is a logon script and try doing all the steps in the batch file oneby one by typing them. When you accounter an error see why that is.
