I have user who decided to delete the permissions for his admin shares on drive d & E. C drive is a small FAT boot partition. I have the utility to reset the permissions on the NTFS drives, I want to know how to run it from the logon script. I need the syntax. Or do you have other suggestions.

You can use poledit.exe (policy editor) to recreate the admin shares and then create a templete to lock down those settings.

This can be done but you might have problems regarding the permissions. You would need to check sysinternals.com or Back Office Resource kit for a utility that can run a program as a different user (like UNIXs RExec).
The script part is easy if yougot Directory replication running on the PDC and BDCs. The script and utility should be saved to the export\scripts and import\scripts directory. The actual script name needs to get inserted into the :User Manager for Domains::Profile:Logon Script name field. You do not need to put in the UNC name
