Startup script cannot find files?

Hi all,

I am trying to run a startup script via GPO with the following parameters:

Script Name: cscript.exe
Parameters: filename.wsf

However is does not run and gives the error "cannot find C:\winnt\system32\filename.wsf" Why is it trying to look in there for the script when it is definately in the scripts area for that policy?

I need to run the script with cscript so I even tried making a batch file with the parameters "cscript filename.wsf" the batch file runs but still spits the error that it cannot find the script??

Any ideas ?

Cscript.exe resides in c:\winnt\system32, so that will become your working
directory. That's why it's looking there for your script file.
Try adding the full UNC path as the argument and see what happens (ie.
\\server\sysvol\scripts\filename.wsf)
