Testing Environment: Virtual Server 2k5 R2 hosted on Win2k3 Ent x64 Ed. Testing Environment LAN: Local NAT bound to MS loopback adapter with WAN access via ICS
Virtual OS Instances:
Win2K Server: Virtual AD PDC. WinXP: Client Machine WinVista: Client Machine
GPO Log On Script: Language:VBS. Purpose: Map Three Network Drives (X,Y,Z) located on PDC
Problem: When logging onto the WinVista instance with an AD account that is a member of Either the local Admin Group or local Power Users group (test account is a member of one or the other never both) the VBS logon script fails to acctually mount the network shares. I have verified that the script is running by inserting a couple wscript.echo statements before and after the wscript.mapnetworkdrive statements, the wscript.echo's come up as expected but no network drives. If I remove the AD account from the local Admin or Power Users Group the drives map perfectly upon next log on. If I perform the exact same test on the XP instance (ie add the testing account to either Local Admin or Power Users) drives map perfectly in both cases.
Any Ideas

Please update if you find an answer. I am experiencing exactly the same issue.
