In a Windows 2003 Active Directory environment there are fours types of logon script. You must select the correct logon script for what you want to achieve.

1. Group Policy logon / logoff scripts.
2. Group Policy Computer startup / shutdown scripts.
3. Domain User logon scripts.
4. Local user logon scripts.

Type 1: Group Policy logon / logoff scripts

This script executes when a USER logs on or logs off. It executes with that users privileges.

Type 2: Group Policy Computer startup / shutdown scripts

This script executes when the COMPUTER starts up or shuts down. It executes in context of “Local System Account” so it has enhanced privileges.

Type 3: Domain User logon scripts

This script executes when a domain user logs on. The difference is type 3 scripts work on all Windows versions whereas type 1 only works with Windows 2000 and up.

Type 4: Local user logon scripts

This script as the name suggest, only executes when the user logs on locally.
