Ok, today is an especially moronic day for me.

This is what we have done. We have created a .reg file to copy a certain amount of entries into the registry of our W2K workstations to point to a spcific server so we can automatically apply patches to workstations. So what I have done is I created a small batch file that has the following command in it

regedit.exe /s sus.reg. The batch file and the sus.reg file exist on a network share.

I know there are not any permissions issues as we are already copying files to the workstation from the shared directory.

So the command from the login script is : shell "P:\sus.bat". This is not rocket science, but the script will just not run. Yet, if I execute the bat file from the network share manually without the login script, it copies in the registry entries. HELP !
