Group Policy Logon scripts

Windows vista connected to a 2003 AD domain where XP machines are running the
logon scripts without problems and vista will run the script but fails to map
the network drives and no indication of error in event logs.

In further testing:
if you browse to the script location in AD and execute manually the drives
map normally

at this point all other functions in the scripts perform normally such as
printer connections, just the drive mapping does not seem to happen.

any suggestions would be helpfull

same problem

I have exactly the same problem but its only started since RC2 i think everything worked perfectly in earlier releases, my temporary solution is to add the script as a local logon script (but with the UNC path to the network script) however this is a very tempory solution as it means i have to fiddle with every vista box i use to make it go.

prehaps its a UAC problem?

UAC

Yeah ive turned off UAC and now the drive mapping works perfectly, so im guessing that either logon scripts are attempting to run but being blocked by UAC, im not sure how to get around this without losing UAC
