Win2K doesn't exec logon script

[Steve Snyder]

Actually my needs in a logon script are pretty simple.  I just want to set 
the time/date on the local machine and map several shared drives.  A single 
script has sufficed in past for Win9x and OS/2 clients, and I hope(d) to 
keep it that way for Win2K clients as well.

I'm willing to go the profile route if that is what's needed, but I'd like 
to stay with a single logon script for all clients (including Win2K) if at 
all possible.

Thanks for the response.
