Unhappy Mapping Drives/adding Printers by machine policy

I have a basic VB Script that is placed in a sub OU of my domain.. it is a Machine Log on script... it Maps a drive needed for one of our programs and it also adds a printer to the computer too.. the reason i did it by machine is that my users fload around to differnt branches..so i dont want to drive mapping to follow them.. i want them to stay with the machine... if i just doube click the script it runs fine..but it won't run as a logon script.. a drive gets mapped..but it just says Mapped drive... the computer has rights to the share and security rights on the Drive.. and my printer dosn't even show up... does anyone have any ideas... is there a better way to map dirves machine bassed..or am i missing something.... THanks for any help

Could this be a reason?

The problem with the Startup/Shutdown Scripts not working was that I had to assign permission to the Domain Computers Group to apply the policy

if so how do i check that?
