my scripts dont seem to work

[tdean]

we have an nt server and a 2k server with 98 and 2k clients. i "thought" i set up the logon scripts right, but i guess not. i would like their folders to automatically be mapped when they logon. im doing the netuse command... where do i put them after? the 98 clients arent mapping at all... they map to the "students" share... not all the way to their own. anyone know if this can be done?

do the scripts work interactively? If not, what is the error message?

hi jlanka.. thanks for your help again. im not sure what you mena by "interactively", but heres the scenario. theres no error, the scripts just dont seem to do anything... kinda lik eim putting them in the wrong folder or something. i have them in the sysvol folder, sub folder scripts. basically, i want the script to run when people log on. i have added it to their profile. heres one:
net use u: \\ndafs\faculty\%username%
net use p: \\notredame\apps

the ndafs is the 2k server and we have some apps on notredame that they need access to. this script doesnt work at all for the win98 users. it seems to be working for the 2k users though. am i doing this right?

by interactively, I mean just try to run them from a DOS prompt. Report back the results from all flavors of machine.

ok, well i dont want to sound like a real idiot here, but how do i do that? should i put the batch file on a floppy or type the path to the location on the server.

I guess do both. That would be a good test.

are you using active directory? If so, check out this <A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q259630" target="_new">KB article</A> or if not, maybe <A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q134595" target="_new">this one </A> will be of help. Just a shot

[tdean]
