Auto startup scripts help. ssamudram[ at ]gmail.com 6/1/2007 1:58:37 PM I am a Newbee, bear with me.. I need to run a bat file at computer startup ( windows 2003 server). I need to run this as a Local System and not as any profile. I have the bat file in the startup folder, but it only starts when I logon to the server. I need this to run this when the computer is rebooted or started. How can I do this. I googled and found some articles about setting in group policy snap in, but i could not find this on this server. Thanks

If you use AD, you can add a group policy startup script setting - try posting in m.p.windows.group_policy for more specific help. Installing the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) makes management of policies quite easy. If you aren't using AD, you can use local policies (start | run | gpedit.msc).
