Brenda-
It is possible that if that one DC is the one that your
test workstation is getting GPOs from, that it could be preventing the script
from working. Your best bet is to put some kind of debugging into the script.
Like have it write an empty file to the local hard drive at the end and see if
the file is getting there. Also, look in the Application event log for events
with a source of Userinit.

Subject: [ActiveDir] administrator password change in Startup script in GPO
I have created a startup script to change my administrator
password on specific machines as part of my group policy. These computers
are part of a group, I have applied the policy to this group, and set the
security permissions appropriately. When I run gpupdate on the pc, I get
no error in the Event log, but when I restart the machine, the administrator
account password has not been changed.
I have run replmon.exe and have found that 1 dc (out of 30) is not
replicating, as it is out of hard drive space on c:. Could 1 out of 30
dc's be causing the problem, or is there something else I am missing? How
long should it take, before the policy takes
effect?
Thanks,
Brenda
