Login Script used w/ Group Policy w/ Windows 2003 Standard Server

We currently have a Default Group Policy in place which prevents the use of the "Run" option within the Start Menu for all users. I have created the following login script which works correctly when executed on it's own, but not when the user logs into the Win2003 server:

net use G: /d
net use I: /d
net use K: /d
net use M: /d
net use N: /d
net use P: /d
net use u: /d
net use X: /d
net use y: /d
net use Z: /d
net use P: \\MBR-ARMS\AMPAL

**I have added it to the Profile option within the user account properties for this user, but when you login as the user, it will not execute. I have verified the script is in the correct location on the server C:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL\sysvol\mbr.host.com\scripts Is there any way to get this work successfully? I have also tried creating a new Group Policy and adding this script to it and selecting the No Override option for the Group Policy, but the Default Group Policy is still applied and the script does not execute?? Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

Had a similar problem here where it would work "sometimes", but NOT others. If this is with XP users, go into your policy, and look under Admin template, system, Login, enable - alway wait for network (we had to change this locally on each system - no AD here yet).

XP will use a cached login if the network is slow, so if you have a script on the server, the workstation may never "see" it prior to logging on.

Possibility anyway.
