Does anyone know where to place the login script (batch file) in a Non-Active Directory Windows Network. I have tried the root of C:\winnt and the root of c:\ and neither of them work. HELP!

So, do you have a NT4 domain running, with NT4 PDC and/or BDCs, or are you just running Win2k in Workgroup mode?
If it is the NT4 domain model, then on your PDC, go to the Netlogon share on it and put the files there. That is the default path that the user profiles will look in the Logon Script Path box.
If you are in Workgroup mode (with no Domain running at all), then you can just set up a shared folder on your Win2K machine, assign permissions to all users to read/write to the share (maybeModify permissions, just to make sure), then put the full UNC path (\\SERVER\SHARE\FILENAME.BAT) in the users Login Script Path box.

hope this helps
