Assign Computer Startup Scripts

Open the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC). Right-click the Group Policy object (GPO) you want to edit, and then click Edit.

In the console tree, click Scripts (Startup/Shutdown). The path is Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Scripts (Startup/Shutdown).

In the results pane, double-click Startup.

In the Startup Properties dialog box, click Add.

In the Add a Script dialog box, do the following:

• In Script Name, type the path of the script, or click Browse to search for the script file in the Netlogon shared folder on the domain controller.
  
  
• In Script Parameters, type any parameters that you want, exactly as you would type them on the command line. For example, if your script includes parameters called //logo (display banner) and //I (interactive mode), type //logo //I.
  
  

In the Startup Properties dialog box, specify the options that you want:

• Startup Scripts for <Group Policy object>: Lists all the scripts that currently are assigned to the selected GPO. If you assign multiple scripts, the scripts are processed in the order that you specify. To move a script up in the list, click it, and then click Up. To move a script down in the list, click it, and then click Down.
  
  
• Add: Opens the Add a Script dialog box, where you can specify any additional scripts to use.
  
  
• Edit: Opens the Edit Script dialog box, where you can change script information, such as name and parameters.
  
  
• Remove: Removes the selected script from the Startup Scripts list.
  
  
• Show Files: Displays the script files that are stored in the selected GPO.
