What is the path to the netlogon share on a WIN 2000 server? It must not be C:\Winnt\System32\Repl\Import\Scripts anymore.
Also if I have Windows 98 PC's and WIN 2000 Pro PC's do I have to have two login.bat files? One for each type of workstation? The reason I ask is that I cannot get my Win98 PC's to read the scripts if the script is setup under the group polices on the WIN2000 server, only my WIN PRO PC's will read the scripts this way. I can only get them to run the scripts if I add the script to the users properties (like you did on NT). Please don't tell me that you still have to do this on WIN2000. BTW: I install the Client for active directory services off of the WIN 2000 server CD on one of my WIN98 PC's and I cannot tell that that did a thing to the PC? It installed, copied files etc... had me reboot. but I don't see what it did... What in the world did that do?
Does anyone know of a good web site on misc. info like this for WIN2000 server?

In Windows 2000 domain,the NETLOGON share points to \sysvol\DomainName\Scripts on the domain controller.The scripts will be replicated to other domain controllers.
When you specify the path to a user's object in account profile properties spaecify path to script location. ex(%SystemRoot%\DomainName\Scripts\Admins\Logme.bat,you specify-Admins\Logme.bat
Logon and logoff scripts defined by local group policy are stored by default locally in \systemroot\System32\GroupPolicy\Users\Scripts\type
Open the Group Policy snap-in and expand Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Scripts for logon or loff scripts
In the right pane double-click the type of script you want to assign
Follow the on screen instructions
Hope this helps
