server 2k gpo/script won't start on clients

hi
i'm new to scripting attempting to learn. i'm trying to run a logon script
for mapping a drive to a shared folder on a w2k server from a 2k client
machine account that has been created in ad.

i have created an ou, moved the above account into it, created a gpo linked
to the ou and added a gp script via user configuration/windows
settings/scripts/logon. i am carrying instructions from this page:
http://www.windowsnetworking.com/art...ironments.html
- Using Logon Scripts in a Windows 2000 or Later Environment
i should say that i have got it working via the user profile but want to do
this with group policy. also, when i execute the logon.bat or logon.vbs on
the client machine from desktop or within run the map takes place but will
not start automatically when client logs on to domain.

could someone please explain what i am doing wrong or why the policy will
not invoke?
