Where is logon script located

By default, on Windows NT 3.x and 4.0 DC and workstations, the %SystemRoot%\System32\Repl\Import\Scripts folder is shared as NETLOGON for saving logon script. On Windows 2000/2003 servers, the %SystemRoot%\Sysvol\Sysvol\domainname\Scripts folder is shared as NETLOGON. On Windows 2000/XP workstation, the default location for local logon scripts is the %Systemroot%\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts folder. The %Systemroot%\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts folder is not created on a new installation of Windows. Therefore, the %SystemRoot%\System32\Repl\Imports\Scripts folder must be created and shared out with the share name netlogon.
