Mshen might be right.

That would explain why when the scripts are run interactively they don’t fail.

Microsoft operating systems allow you to login before they are fully connected to the network which will cause login scripts that map network drives to fail. Try turning this off in a group policy: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Template -> System -> Login -> Enable Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon.

It is also possible that this is a kix issue.

Carlos,

I did try all three of the login scripts one at a time. No matter which login script I try, I experience these problems.

Since all three are basically the same thing, I wouldn’t expect a major difference depending on which one is active. Also, all three will run correctly when interactively executed within windows.

Have you tried moving one logon script at a time to identify which is the one that is causing the problem ?
