I'm trying to use a GPO to fire off this vb script and have the vb script use a .prf file that I've created. I've tried copy both files to a local machine and then pointing the vb script to the .prf file in the root. And it works perfectly. But when I use the GPO to run the script at logon it runs, but it's not running the .prf file and I can't figure out why. Here is the vb script. It runs but displays the message at the bottom "Crucial file in script could not be found." I've placed the .prf in the user\logon\scripts with the vb script and I've also tried this path sysvol\domainname\scripts and for some reason it's starting the .prf file. I've got the adm file to do this for 2007/2010 and it works great just trying to do the same for 2003.
Any suggestions would be great.
