I have it working using

logon script = %u.bat

my netlogon script was created on a 2k machine and is as follows

@echo off
net use o: \\foo\bar /persistent:no
net use p: \\servername\sharename /persistent:no

the persistent is mainly for nt machines or machines that leave the
network.  it turns off reconnect.

it matters that the script has the proper line breaks
place the file in the netlogon dir and login with the matching user.
It should work well.

Also logon path is where you want to store profiles, usually
logon path = \\crandell\profiles\%u

that would create a dir for each user that logs in.
also recomend using
logon home = \\crandell\profiles\%u

I don't totally understand why they haven't been integrated into one, but
the logon home handles 9x machines.
Good luck, hope this works.
