 Getting .vbs script to run at logon..

I am testing using wsh/vbs as a login script but am having trouble getting
it to run.  I have entered the script (test.vbs) in my logon script portion
of my profile and the script is on all of my netlogon shares but it does not
run.  Do I need to run it from a batch file or is there a better way to call
the .vbs directly?

All help appreciated!

You cannot run it directly if you are using NT or Win95. You either have to wrap it in a dos batch file or you can use an external app (Like the one found on my site) that allows you to run it without invoking the console window.

Thanks for the tip... Got it working fine for NT clients.  Is there anything special to do to get the logon.exe to run on 95 clients?  Can't seem to get it to work.  Just skips right over like nothing were specified in logon script.

Perhaps you should enter "wscript test.vbs" or even "c:\winnt\wscript
test.vbs", Chad.

Windows 95 and I believe Windows 98 execute login scripts asynchronously. In
a nutshell, if you are doing anything that requires a validated user, GOOD
LUCK.

I have not been successful.

If you use a simple while loop, you can give your script enough time to get
the validated user ID when it is available.

I have the loop in and it works fine with 95 when run manually.  My problem
is that I can't get the script to run a login on a 95 machine.  I've tried
calling it in a batch with the logon.exe program, but no luck....
