Hi,

Sounds like you dont have active directory, so best way i would do it is to write a vbscript/batch file to:

* read a list of all computers
* copy the script to these computers
* add a record to the startup in the registry

pstools may be handy for this also.

Hi ,
first of all thanks for your answer and sorry for my english.

* read a list of all computers --> OK no problem for me
* copy the script to these computers --> OK no problem for me
* add a record to the startup in the registry --> I think you said about add it to HKLM\...\Run key , the problem is that i need to start the script before to any user do the logon , startup folder , HKLM\...\Run key start always at the logon.
Another option would be create a win service and execute it (this way seems to be more complex)

However configuring Startup/Script trougth Local GPO allow it.
I can't to do it by adding the script to a OU on AD , i should do it on local GPO , i tested it by hand via gpedit.msc and works fine , i'm looking a way for
automatize the deploy without sucessfull , i tried to see the changes with procmon from sysinternal when you do it by hand , but then then everything that i tried to do doesn't work.
I tried to export/import full local GPO with secedit without succesfull , someone did something seemed ?

Thanks for the future answer if the come : )

You said you were successful using gpedit.msc

Do it again and look in this key and subkeys

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\Scripts]

And look in this file:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\scripts.ini

and put the script here:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Startup

You will need to script the entry in the registry, and the .ini file.
