Here is what my script is doing ...
@Echo off
REM Copy General.ini file into users directory, this fixes the print as
image and adding custom paper sizes
Copy "\\dpprojects\setup\IT Documents\GroupPolicySource\Nitro\general.ini"
"C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Zeon\DocuCom\PDF
Driver" /Y
REM Copy pluscore.ini file into users directory, this fixes rotate/center
and removes the organization box on startup
Copy "\\dpprojects\setup\IT Documents\GroupPolicySource\Nitro\pluscore.ini"
"C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Zeon\DocuCom\PDF Plus"
/Y
So it looks like it needs to be moved to the logon script within the user
configuration instead. I will give that a try and let you know.
Does my copy line look right, and I want the REM line to be a 'comment' line
but it doesn't seem to be working. I wrote the bat file in notepad.

Hi Again Kelli : ).
Important distinction to make:
Startup/Shutdown scripts are for functions that pertain to computers, not
users. They run in system context. A startup script cannot for example map
a drive for a user because the user is not yet logged in. It could install
a program that has an unattended install mode, or change machine registry
settings - etc.
Logon/Logoff scripts operate on users, and have access to the current user's
registry settings and such for mapping drives, printers etc.
You appear to be trying to apply the script to certain users - so the
question is, what is your script doing?
If it is setting _user_ application preferences or something it should be a
Login script under user settings in the policy.
Otherwise, as Florian mentioned, you need to give Authenticated Users read
and apply permissions in the GPO, so the computer(s) can process the script.
Hope that helps.

I have a bat file that I would like to run at startup on specific computers
(will become a group once I get the kinks worked out).
I have tested the bat file and it works outside of group policy but I can
not get it to work within group policy. It is located in computer
configuration\windows settings\scripts\startup. It calles the file
\\server\share\location\NitroDefaults.bat
Are there parameters that I need to add? When I click on show files, it
looks but the folder it finds is empty.
The security settings are as follows
Authenticated Users - None
CREATOR OWNER - None
Domain Admins - Read, Write, Create All Child Objects, Delete All Child
Objects
Enterprise Admins - Read, Write, Create All Child Objects, Delete All
Child
Objects
USER1$ - Read, Apply
USER2$ - Read, Apply
USER3$ - Read, Apply
SYSTEM - Read, Write, Create All Child Objects, Delete All Child Objects
If I look at User 1,2 or 3's gpresult, this policy is called out and is
recognized. If I run gpupdate /force, it gives me the statement "Certain
Computer policies are enabled that can only run during startup. OK to
Reboot?" So I know that it sees the GP.
This policy has not changed since yesterday afternoon, giving it plenty of
time to replicate thru the domain.
I am at a lost for what to do next. I plan on expanding upon this idea
for
other things that need to be done at startup such as mapping printers and
network drives. So any help at all would be greatly appreciated!!
