touchstone_81 Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 Memnoch: Hi good news; I took a harder look at the the domain settings today and found that the logon scripts worked great on users who didn't have a roaming profile.i wonder about that But the fact is they do work and thats what i cared about,the other things i can bring around.Whats more the scripts were able to work their magic even with these two settings enabled:"Disable access to Registry editing tools" and"Restrict access to explorer drives A, B and C"Now i have to go and work-out a solution to backup the OE Rules to their home drives but thats another story,thanks for setting me in the right direction.cheers!

nmX.Memnoch Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Yeah, we've had to come up with some pretty creative stuff at work as well. We have a GPO that sets the security permissions to regedit.exe so that only Admins (and SYSTEM) have access. They did the same for net.exe. Using KiX (or a VBScript) worked like a charm. We've been using KiX as our logon script processor for YEARS though, so most of our stuff was already in place.I don't do roaming profiles so I can't help you there...sorry.BTW, it's probably going to be another couple of days before I can get you a copy of my script...but I haven't forgotten.

Brennen Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) BTW, it's probably going to be another couple of days before I can get you a copy of my script...but I haven't forgotten. That was me who made that request. And take your time, I am a patient person. You are doing me a favor after all. I am glad I was able to help -- kind of. Glad to see it resolved, and would also like to add my thanks since this resolved one of my problems. Small, and inconsequential currently, but preventative and helpful nonetheless.
