Group Policy can be used to apply startup and shutdown scripts to computers.
Here is an article that contains the necessary steps:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;322241
When you apply the scripts, be sure to store the scripts in a location that
is accessible to all clients. For example, click the "Show Files" button on
the scripts dialog box (see the above link to locate this in a GPO) and then
copy and paste your script into the folder that opens.
Now the question is - where to apply the GPO? If all the servers are in the
same organizational unit you can simply create a GPO linked to the
organizational unit (or use an existing GPO if one is linked to the
organizational unit).
However, if all your servers are not in the same organizational unit, and
applying the GPO at a high enough level would also effect workstations, you
can use security filtering. Here is more info on security filtering:
and
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;322176
(the How to Filter the Scope of Group Policy According to Security Group
Membership section)
You would basically use the following steps:
- Create a group called something like "Domain Servers"
- Add the computer accounts of all servers to the "Domain Servers" group
- Create a new GPO and apply it at a high level so it will apply to all the
servers (such as at the domain level)
- Remove the allow "Apply Group Policy" permission from the Authenticated
users group (but, do not deny)
- Add the "Domain Servers" group and allow the Read and the Apply Group
Policy permissions
- Configure the script in the GPO
