Is there a reason for that?

It's not really neccesary to use GPU to deploy new loginscripts. I package wkix32.exe together with the loginscript using KixScript Editor and put that .exe in the netlogon share. Then in the AD under the user's properties you fill in the name of the .exe (without path) under the loginscript bar and your done. this way you can also replace the exe when it's needed without extra hassle.

My experience is that using "\\mydomain.com\netlogon" is really flaky as clients frequently cannot access the share for no good reason. Using "\\mydomain.com\sysvol\mydomain.com\scripts" is very much more reliable.

BTW, this is not script language specific - VBS login scripts are just as problematical.

Well you don't specify a path at all, just put in the name of the .exe for instance "start.exe" in the user's properties. On more then 20 different networks it has never failed me once.

Here's an example:

Don;t mind the profilepath or anything else just look at the "Logon Script"

You're talking about configuring the logon script in user properties, while the thread topic is about using GPOs. Two very different things.

How does that help in specifying the login script via GPO?

I just tried to point out that doing it the way I specified doesn't require GPO, therefore it works after the GPO is applied and can't run too early. This way works the way it was intended.

If Netlogon is not available on a DC, that indicates a problem with FRS. A DC will "offline" the Netlogon share when there is replication problems. The client should then look to DNS and resolve the "\\mydomain.com\netlogon" to another DC.
