woody Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I have vista up and running on the domain and i seems to be applying group policies rather well as far as I can see. But I have a few scripts that run at logon to map network drives. The drives are not mapping at logn so I presume the scripts aren't running, unless vista doesn't understand vbs! Any ideas on thi one? Any log I can check to see what parts f group policy are running? Can't see anyting in the system log - tells me group policies were applied succesfully.
john Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I know its not the best bit of help but my .bat logon scripts are running fine in Vista
kxv2020 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 You have to disable User Account Control - in control panel; user accounts; click on the user name and an option should be there! There might be a policy in GPO adm files for vista too ... but I haven't checked them out as yet!!

I would hope there will be an option to contol that in group policy. Wonder if you need R2 to get it? We are getting a new server with windows 2003 R2 anyway so will have a look then.
Quackers Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 There is a GPO for it, its under Machine Security Policy right at the bottom, about 5 User Account Control Options.
NetworkGeezer Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Surely there should be some way of whitelisting logon scripts without having to turn off UAC altogether.
Geoff Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 They either need to be digitally signed or white listed if your using UAC.
