GPOs not running logon scripts

Greetings,

we have an environment of 2 DCs running WS 2008R2 and applying several GPOs. The GPOs that have a user logon script (vbs or ps1) can not run. At the same time, if we run the vbs scripts from a pc on the domain they run successfully. Any suggestions would
be appreciated!

Thanking you in advance.

 

Running a VB Script File Using Windows 10 Task Scheduler

Please post your current version of the script.

Note also that I'll be off the air for a whole week, starting this coming Sunday evening. With your response cycle of one reply per day, you are unlikely to solve your problem anytime soon. This is aggravated by you consistenly posting insufficient information
(e.g. repeatedly not posting your script, not posting numbers of problem lines, taking numerous attempts to post the exported xml file etc. etc.). You need to remember that respondents cannot see your screen.

Lastly - you are trying to use the Task Scheduler to launch a script to open an Excel file to launch a macro. This is an extremely ambitious task. It is also not a good way to do things. A script can do everything that a macro can, and more, but more simply.
Forget about the macro. Here are the steps you should take:

• Get my script going in the foreground.
• Get it going while scheduled.
• Write a script that opens an Excel file.
• Run it in the foreground.
• Run it in the background.
• Expand it to manipulate the spreadsheet.
• Run it in the foreground
• Run it in the background.
