 .vbs as a logon script?

Hi group,

I'm just getting around to redoing all our logon scripts in our Windows 2000
domain.  They're mostly all .bat files, but I'm going to replace them all
with .vbs file.  It seems that I cannot set a user's logon script to be
"file.vbs" in the person's profile info, however.  If I do, it doesn't seem
to run, so I'm using a .bat file to call the .vbs file.  Am I wrong in
assuming that I can't set a person's logon script to be a .vbs though?  All
the machines I've tested on are NT4, not 2000, so perhaps that's the
problem.

Thanks a lot,

Ray at work

I see you've answered your own question - on Win9x/NT you must specify a
batch file to call the VBS; on Win2K/XP you can use the VBS directly.
As you've correctly observed.

Arg.  And people wonder why I've been lobbying for Windows 2000 since
February 17th, 2000.  This is reason number 976 or so.  Thanks a lot Ned.
