I am trying to execute a VBS script at startup but keep getting an error.

The script is to add a network group to the local admin group of the
machine.

Scrpt executes fine if run manually, so I know there is nothing wrong with
it, but fails if run as a GPO startup script.

Error is: 0x80005000 on Line 11

Any help please?

'--------------------8<----------------------

Set oWshNet = CreateObject("WScript.Network")

sGroup = "Local Admins"

sNetBIOSDomain = oWshNet.UserDomain
sComputer = oWshNet.ComputerName

Set oGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & sComputer & "/Administrators,group")
Set oUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & sNetBIOSDomain & "/" & sGroup & ",group")

' suppress errors in case the user is already a member
On Error Resume Next
oGroup.Add(oUser.ADsPath)
On Error Goto 0

C:\Tools>err.exe 80005000
# for hex 0x80005000 / decimal -2147463168 :
E_ADS_BAD_PATHNAME adserr.h
# An invalid directory pathname was passed
# 1 matches found for "80005000"

Here is what the return code means.
You might want to run a network trace at the authenticating DC when it works
and when it doesn't work.
I suspect the script may not even be putting anything on the wire when it
fails.
