Sometimes you need to make a change to a lot of desktops, and you need to use an account with administrator level privilege. The best way I found to do this other running a script that would make the changes remotely was to add it to the startup script option in the a Group Policy. <\/p>\n
I wrote the script (and tested it, obviously), and saved it with the logon scripts so it would replicate to all the domain controllers.<\/p>\n
Then, I identified a current policy and edited it. This is a Computer Configuration policy that causes the script to be run upon reboot. You want to change the properties (add your script\/command) for:<\/p>\n
Computer Configuration\/Policies\/Windows Settings\/Scripts\/Startup
\nClick Add…
\nBrowse…
\nYou can run the script from anywhere, but I chose the logon script directory for redundancy and efficiency.<\/p>\n
This is where I stored the script and referenced:
\n\\\\DOMAIN.LOCAL\\SysVol\\DOMAIN.LOCAL\\Scripts\\MyScript.cmd<\/p>\n
Another option is store the script with the policy which might even be a better choice:
\n\\\\DOMAIN.LOCAL\\SysVol\\DOMAIN.LOCAL\\Policies\\{12345678-ABCD-1234-ABCD-123456789012}\\Machine\\Scripts\\Startup<\/p>\n
Once you’ve added the script, click Ok and close the Group Policy Management Editor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
