Logon Script calling another batch or VBS file

[TimK01]

We are using NT4 and have logon scripts for each user working fine.

I want to add some general functionality to every log on script so I put it in a batch file general.bat, which I stored in netlogon, then added a "call general.bat" to every logon script batch file.

All i get is Bad command or filename

I tried %0\..\general.bat

I also tried using a .vbs file in the same way all failed.

Should I be able to do this or is there some restriction on calling a batch or vbs file from a batch file in netlogon?

I'm not sure if the following will work with a network path however you could map the drive run the bat and then kill the mapping.

filebat = "c:\hold\general.bat"
wscript.run filebat

try

call \\server\netlogon\general.bat

Thanks for your answers, Neither of them work in the environment I have.

Basicly I can call a batch file or VB script from another batch file in my local machine, in a network drive, but not in Netlogon.

Anyone have any ideas why?
