Hi all,

I am new to GPOs and I have a problem with Group Policy Loopback Processing.
I am dealing with two OUs, one called LAB101 (which only has computer
accounts in it) and one called STAFF (which houses all of my users).

For the STAFF OU I added a GPO called "STAFF GPO" but I have not configured
anything in it. For the LAB101 OU I added a GPO called "LAB101 GPO". In the
LAB101 GPO I enabled Group Policy Loopback Processing (mode = replace). I
did this because I want a User logon script to run whenever a user logs into
the machine. So, I also added a logon script in the user configuration of
the LAB101 GPO.

However, when I log into a LAB101 machine, the script never runs. Am I
missing a step?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

The steps sound right. There must be another problem. Try running gpresult
on the server to see what was applied. Try echoing the logon script to see
if it runs and where it fails.

Hello,

When I run GPRESULT it tells me that the LAB101 and the Default Domain
Policy are applied (the default domain policy just has user password
settings). I put a pause at the beginning of the script but it NEVER comes
up.

What I would do is:
- put another setting into the LAB101 policy and check that it is applied to
users
- if that works, ask in the scripting newsgroups for help with the script.
