I have group policy just running a logon script to map a couple drives and it works fine when I have the domain user as an Administrator on the local PC but doesn't map the drives when the user isn't a Local Admin. Any ideas?
 
What computers are you trying to run the logon script to, and secondly are you checking to see if the computers are pointing to the right DNS?
 
I am trying to run the logon script on a Win2000 Pro machine that is a member of the Domain and logs in fine. Not sure if this answers your first question.

The computers are pointing to the slave DNS servers, but I don't understand why that would have anything to do with my problem... The only thing I change to get the logon script to map my drives is I give the domain username Administrator access to the Local PC.
 
The reason I asked about the DNS is that I had trouble with my GPOs and it was because the Professional computers were looking to the wrong server.

If you are using active directory, you may have to create an organizational unit, then put the users you want and the computers that you want into that OU. Then apply the policy to it. That should work
