    A change was introduced into SP4 that stopped both group policies and
    logon scripts working under certain conditions.

    The following article (KB823862) explains better than I can

    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;823862

    A fix is detailed in the article, however if you have an NT4 domain with
    Windows 2000 SP4 clients not running logon scripts, then Microsoft's
    solution will be of little use to you. It is however possible to create
    your own ADM template and NT4 policy that can be placed on your user
    domain that will fix the problem.

review of the homeland security business, Ranum shows us how the problem
is vastly harder than it's being made to sound, and how special
interests, *** covering, and bureaucracy are threatening to derail any
chance of making progress.
