Do logon scripts get stored on the PC?

I have a logon script that is being assigned through Active Directories.
What happens when the users with laptops are off the network?
DoesWindows store the script in its memory?

Thanks

No. If specified in AD account properties (under Profile tab), it gets
retrieved from AD's account properties during logon and runs. If the script
is specified in a GPO, it will run after the getGpoList function pulls it
over during logon.

What exactly is the script doing? Does it map drives? If the script is
mapping drives, what good will it do if the laptop is off the network? If
they're using a VPN, the script will run when logging in, of course
depending on how you have the VPN/logon process designed.

The only way it will reside on the local machine is if you placed it there.
Then everytime you made a change it would have to be updated, etc... Bad
idea to have it anywhere but in a common, central location.
