How do I run a .vbs file a NT logon script
Theoretically, you can work round this problem with .vbs scripts. My
experience has been otherwise.
As you need to install the Scripting engine on the local host anyway,
try this:
Store the vbs script you want to run locally on the local machine.
Write a logon .bat, store it as usual on NTLOGON.
This .bat file should call the locally stored .vbs script upon logon.
This WILL work.
