i know theres a few IT guys on here so i thought id give it a go:
im having issues setting up a security policy that runs a simple logon script. im wondering if there isnt an issue in the setup of our domain controllers thats resulting in the scripts not executing properly.
Script is a batch file that simply pulls a .DAT file off the server and puts it into their application data folder to update the parent server in Symantec AV.
I can run the script on the client machines locally, and it works fine, pulls the file from the server as it should, drops it in the appropriate directory, and closes out.
when trying to push it out through GPO, the script fails to execute.
I created a new GPO, selected user config, logon/logoff, and logon scripts.
i first clicked the show files button, and pasted my batch file into that folder. then for script name pointed to that file in that folder.(not really necessary).
For the GPO properties i gave System, Authenticated users, and Domain users all full control of the GPO. I also granted permissions on the batch file itself for the Groups above.
For some reason it just wont execute. does anyone have any idea?
worlds simplest script:
been searching for the cause all morning, with no luck. Could it be the folder name of where the .DAT file is located? not sure if you can have a period in the folder name.
