Are you running the DSClient on ALL of your downlevel clients?

If you are you might be able to use the methodology I employ for my corporate logonscript. It calls subscripts based on the clients location in the OU hierarchy.

All of your clients will execute the same base script called from a batch file. The core script then looks at the clients DN and then makes directory paths from the DN. You can place any scripts you want to execute in a directory structure that mimics the OU hierchy and have different scripts execute for different users.

See http://mywebpages.comcast.net/habullock/logon_script_architecture.htm

See my UDF MakePathsFromADlocation()

Ok as a test I removed the comments for that script to run.

code:
Break ON
; uncomment the next line to step through the code
; DEBUG ON
; Example of LDAP call. GetObject("LDAP://ou=Users,ou=YourBusinessUnit,dc=YourCompany,dc=com")
; You need to know your LDAP connection. You can maybe find it by checking the propery details on the OU for your users.
$target = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Test,OU=Information Systems,OU=AdminBldg,DC=sussexcounty,DC=net")
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
$loginscript="logon.bat"
For Each $user in $target
If $user.loginscript <> $loginscript
? "Current Script for " +$user.name " is: " +$user.loginscript+ " Should be: " +$loginscript
$user.loginscript=$loginscript ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat.
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
$user.SetInfo ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat.
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
? "Changed current Script for " +$user.name " to: " +$user.loginscript
EndIf
Next

I have it going to the Test OU in which there are 2 users, currently that have no logon script setup. If I run this with the comments removed are you saying it will automatically assign the logon.bat to those 2 user's profile?

It doesn't work. I run the script and says error = 0 but i go to that user's properties and there is no script name in there under their profile.

If I can get this to work I think I will be set to go.

What does the 'current script' and 'changed ' text output lines state? They should reflect the changes made.

Do you have more than one DC in the domain? The DC chosen by the script to update the user account may not be the same DC to which your GUI is connected.

That's all it says.
This is the code I am running.

We do have more than 1 DC in our domain. The DC I am connected to is the one where my GUI is connected.

You might want to learn how to modify your script so that it prints more info. Try this:
code:
Break ON
; uncomment the next line to step through the code
; Debug ON
; Example of LDAP call. GetObject("LDAP://ou=Users,ou=YourBusinessUnit,dc=YourCompany,dc=com")
; You need to know your LDAP connection. You can maybe find it by checking the propery details on the OU for your users.
$target = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Test,OU=Information Systems,OU=AdminBldg,DC=sussexcounty,DC=net")
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
$loginscript="logon.bat"
For Each $user in $target
? 'checking user: '+$user.name
? 'assigned login script: '+$user.loginscript
If $user.loginscript <> $loginscript
? "Current Script for " +$user.name " is: " +$user.loginscript+ " Should be: " +$loginscript
$user.loginscript=$loginscript ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat.
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
$user.SetInfo ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat.
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
? "Changed current Script for " +$user.name " to: " +$user.loginscript
EndIf
Next
? 'If no user was displayed, then no user was retrieved from the OU'

Okay I ran that and it did bring back the 2 users in that OU. It didn't assign the logon script in their profiles though.

Could you please copy the complete output from your script to this board?

Please run the latest version of the script we posted so that the original assigned login script will get printed, too.

; You need to know your LDAP connection. You can maybe find it by checking the propery details on the OU for your users.
$target = GetObject("LDAP://OU=Test,OU=Information Systems,OU=AdminBldg,DC=sussexcounty,DC=net")
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
$loginscript="logon.bat"
For Each $user in $target
? 'checking user: '+$user.name
? 'assigned logins cript: '+$user.loginscript
If $user.loginscript <> $loginscript
? "Current Script for " +$user.name " is: " +$user.loginscript+ " Should be: " +$loginscript
$user.loginscript=$loginscript ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat.
? 'Error = '+@ERROR+' - '+@SERROR
$user.SetInfo ; Remove the semi-colon at the front of this line to enable actually resetting the logon bat.

Then something seems wrong as it should also display the line 'Assigned login script' for ech user, which it doesn't.

Well right now those 2 users don't have login scripts assigned. Isn't it supposed to assign it?

Even if they don't have a login script assigned, the text 'Assigned Login Script:' should still be printed to the screen.

NTDOC which code are you using and what OS?
I can't get it to display any thing relating to the current login script unless I manually assign it then it picks it up.
