I am having problems with my master VBscript opening another script. I am using this as my statement:

objShell.Run "%LOGONSERVER%\netlogon\SR\VBS\printer.vbs,0,True"

Can anyone please tell me why this doesn't work?

First off, patience, most of the people who post here are at work and can only check sproadically throughout the day.
Try this.

Dim WshShell : Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
msgbox WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%LOGONSERVER%")

I need for my master script to execute then open that printer.vbs script. I don't need to know what logonserver I am logging in.

Then edit the code that I posted to work for you. I was just using a msgbox to display the results.

I'm not trying to be sarcastic, but my original post contained:

objShell.Run "%LOGONSERVER%\netlogon\SR\VBS\printer.vbs,0,True"

it is safe to assume that I have Dim objShell and Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

my problem is for some reason objShell.Run always tells me that that file can't be found and it is there.Because I can take that same path and place it on the command line and it is executed.

I know what you posted and so I posted the info that could help if you tried it. Unless you use a cmd window (would need to test this to be positive), %whatever% will not work. That is a system variable and needs to be expanded.

'set a variable
TheVariable = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%LOGONSERVER%")
'Then use this variable in your run line.
objShell.Run TheVariable & "\netlogon\SR\VBS\printer.vbs,0,True"
That should do it.

Thanks for the help. It seems that VBscript didn't like the ,0,True portion of my original line. So I used this line below and it worked fine. Again, thanks for the help.

objShell.Run TheVariable & "\netlogon\SR\VBS\printer.vbs"
