I have two sites....one in Montreal one in Toronto....both have an AD that replicates the sysvol between them. I have login scripts for the Montreal and Toronto users....some of the Montreal users have problems with there login scripts.....sometimes they wont work! I did a GPRESULT and found out that they were getting there user GPO's from the Toronto AD....how can I fix that so they get them from Montreal?

Are all IP subnets defined and assigned to the correct sites? Are the logon scripts defined in the "User Configuration" part of the GPO? Where is the GPO applied from?

You can do this with Sites and services, assuming that you have all your sites and subnets configured in there. It can be a pain for an Enterprise Infrastructure, but its worth it in the long run. I have mine setup with over 200 subnets. It took me some time, even with a script I wrote to do it. But now, its priceless to have for load balancing and Domain Management.

OK.....I have 2 OU's a Toronto and a Montreal OU. They each have there own GPO called logonmtl and logontor set on there individual OU. I just did a GPRESULT on another user who wasn't getting her mapped drives and she belonged (this time) to the right site (Montreal) and she had the logonmtl gpo applied.....yet she still didn't have her mapped drives! So what I did was I physically ran the script from the run command using the sysntax \\10.10.10.55\sysvol\policies\user\logon\logonmtl.vbs (something along those lines) and it opens in a command prompt....closes and no mapped drives appear????? Yet most other people are getting them no problem!

Is the user running a different version of windows than the others? The Net Use command has changed a bit from version to version of Windows.

everyone is running XP pro

You may want to put some "pause" commands in your script to find out why it is not running on the client that isn't working. Maybe there are other drive mappings in the way. Maybe there are other policies applied to the machine that don't allow drive mappings?
