well i have tested the script and it does run from the 'Run' in Windows Xp. this is the only machine i've moved onto the new RODC or existing Domain.
i know the GPO is applying to this user as i can setup an app to start from the GPO (Notepad)and each time it does start-up. i've since setup the proper Sites and Subnets in Active Directory but my %LogonServer% is still changing:(
the user's personal drive P: from their profile maps perfectly each time as well.
this is a Windows XP machine.
