I have configured a login script batch file to the default domain group policy. When I login from the workstations the batch file does not run. When I login to the server with the user accounts it will run. And yes I know that I could put the batch file in the sysvol\{domain name}\scripts folder and just enter the name of the batch file into each user account but I want to know why the group policy will not run. Any ideas?

I imagine you have already thought of this, but the symptoms you are describing sound as though the location you have specified in your default domain policy is not accessible by the client PCs. If you are pointing to C:\scripts, that directory does not exist on the client PC. If you have it located in a share, all clients must have access to that share. Try putting it in the sysvol\..\scripts folder and pointing your default domain policy there. Or, to test the whole theory, try navigatingfrom a client PC to the folder you specified in your d.d.p and see if you can see your batch file there. If not, this is your problem.

I can navigate and run the batch file manually and I have checked permissions. It just will not run via login. Its almost like I am missing a fundamental step in the group policy config and how to apply it.

If you are logging in on Win98 machines, the Group Policy will not apply when logging in.

If you are using Win2K machines, try using the "no override" option the GPO.
