VBScript in an Active Directory Environment

[finatic]

I have a VB script desktop icon that changes the screen resolution in an Active directory domain. I cannot get the script to run. Do you have to allow the script to run? If so I have already done this and it still does not work. Any suggestions?

Have you tried applying the script through a GPO as a logon script (computer configuration)? If that doesnt work you can allways run it under the Administrative templates, system, logon (again computer config). There is a settings says run these programs at user login. Make it point to your script \\computer\share\script.vbs. You might need to add your computers to a global security group with read and apply permissions on the GPO for it to run.

Thank you for the info. I guess I wasnt clear and im sorry. I have 2 desktop icons that allow the users to switch from 800x600 to 1024x768 and vice versa. The icons on the desktop are OK. When I click on them as administrator they do what they are supposed to. When I log on as a user that has a policy applied to him it will not run. Basically we restric everything except office and a telnet app. I have allowed those scripts to run in the User settings under "Run allowed applications". Have you ever tried to run a VBscript this way?
