Win2003 Server logon script and printer

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_deployment (More info?)

I have a new Windows 2003 server. I have the netlogon share setup and a
batch file in it. However, none of the clients seem to execute the batch
(ie, they never even try to run it). I have it setup as the logon script.
Any ideas what to check out?

Also, I have a group of XP clients with 1-3 printers installed. The default
printer was changed on each from printer 1 to printer 3 - however, on a
reboot (not on a logoff/login) the default resets to the original. I don't
see any policy settings restricting this in any way. Any idea what to look
at here?

Thanks, I wonder if my issue is that I do put
\\servername\netlogon\logon.bat in for the user. I shall try dropping the
\\servername\netlogon portion. Thanks!!
