Simple login mapping script doesn't run properly

I am trying to setup a login script to create a mapping over a VPN to a Windows 2003 server. When I run the script manually, it works. When I try to get it to run as a login script it doesn't. Where should the script file be located on the VISTA workstation? I'm referncing it in the user properites, but it doesn't seem to run...

Try putting a WHOAMI line in the script and then comparing the output of that command when it's run from a startup script versus when you invoke it manually. Odds are you'll find the script runs under a different user.

It would be useful if you added a bit more detail around what happens when it "doesn't work".

Sorry.... When I say it doesn't run, I mean that there seems to be no error message or anything, the mapping just isnt added.
Here's the syntax (anonimized)- this is the entire script - I have a feeling it's just the location or something simple like that... because when as the same user I click on the batch file, the mapping is added as planned. Logging in doesn't cause it to execute - Even though I have the path and filename in the use login script setup....


net use p: \\192.168.0.3\Wp password /user:Domain.local\administrator

I solved it by putting the batch file in the startup folder.
