Logon script not working in windows xp

[ctech12]

I have a windows xp workstation on a 2000 domain, if i logon as the users of that machine which has power users priv's the logon script will run real quick sometimes and other times not run at all but non of the drives every appear in my computer. If i log on as myself which i have domain admin priv's to the network my script will run and the drives will show up. I have logged this person onto another xp machine and the script ran and the drives showed up everytime. What is preventing this xp machine from running this logon script. I am at a loss. Thanks in advance.

The asyncronous loading of networking during the boot up process can be the issue. This speeds up the login process in a stand-alone workstation by allowing the user to log in with cached logon credentials before the network is fully ready.

To disable this "feature" and restore your domain logons to their normal behavior, open the MMC and add the group policy snap-in. Under Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->System-->Logon, change "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" to ENABLED.

This can be fed to clients via a group policy from a Windows 2000 server by upgrading the standard policy template with the XP policy template. Since this is an XP only command, non-XP systems will ignore it in a domain distributed group policy.
