Hey gang,

i have a computer script applied at my GPO to an OU with only computers in it, the script it self looks like this.

regedit /s \\server\share\file.reg
regedit /s \\server\share\file.reg

thats it.

But for some reason the script doesnt run? Sorry it does run - in the boot up of the XP pro clients it says "applying computers stttings, running start up scripts" but the script doesnt do anything.

I kno that this scripts works running under the "User configuration" in the SAME GPO. I want to know if i have to allow computer account acces to the scripts FOLDER? (share)

Any help ?

Thanks guys

i would put everyone access on that folder

Nah...I would put Authenticated Users...or Comps....or Domain Computers and Domain Users. Try really hard not to use Everyone.

... yes


But will this actually solve the problem? I have made a domain LOCAL group with the Specific computers that need to run the script, and given that group access to the share with the scripts in it.

I will test this and return with the answers!

i was right

I added the computers to a domain local group called "test comps" and added "test comps" to the script folder with read and execute.

This worked straight away - and i later found a system builtin called Domain computers ... so instead just added that coz i need everyone to see it and now i am fine.


That was the answer - computers need access too.
