Solution 1: create new GPO with the logon script definition
Solution 2: if You have already GPO with this settings and there is no
need to create spearated GPO just link this existing GPO to the OU in
which this computers exists. If You want limit this GPO settings to
specific computer accounts in OU just create securiy group, place
computers inside of this group and then place proper security settings
on OU (add or remoe right to read and apply policy)
