Anyone here familiar with these? Trying to run a vbs script at
shutdown on the XP laptops we have left here.
If they are a member of our domain, it appears the script does not run.
If they are just in a workgroup, it seems to run fine.
Any suggesions? Aside from ones like take the laptops out of our
domain, stuff like that, etc.

Screensavers will normally block shutdown, even if not locked, on XP.
Try creating a script that will detect the Screensaver and kill it then
run shutdown.
Also verify the script impersonator has rights on domain pcs.
shutdown rights could be different once joining a domain.

So my response to craig’s comment is…
It’s not a script to actually shut the pc down, it’s one to re-enable
the wireless nic when the user shuts the pc down.
Does a user need local admin rights (example) specifically on a domain
machine to run scripts at shutdown, or would membership in a group that
has elevated rights on that computer suffice?

The issue is likely that the Domain GPO is over-riding the Local GPO
which you have calling the script.
