I have a W2k server which has RRAS fully setup and configured for VPN access. If I attempt to connect to the W2K server using a 98 machine everything working fine. The user logs onto the network and then the domain and then the logon script runs. The problem is that when I try to connect using a W2K Pro machine, it logs onto the network and then the domain and registers with the domain BUT the logon script does not run. So what would make the script run for a 98 client and not for a W2K Pro client?

How about setting up creating a OU in the active directory and a Group Policy Object (GPO). Link the GPO to the OU and specify the logon script to run at logon??? In Win98 u can run the logon scripts by placing them at the (forgot the folder's name), but in Win2K enviorment, its controlled through the GPO. For more info, look at the book "Implimenting Active Directory and Services" Chapter 11-12. It will tell you more about the local GP and multi GPO and how they are applied in Active Directory.

Hope this helps

Sorry Junething but no luck! I was running the script from the user profile and changed it to an ou and gpo but the W2K pro machine still did not have it run when connecting through the VPN. Also note that with the script configured either way it does run for the W2K pro machine when doing a regular lan connect... Any other ideas?
