Group Policy to call a batch file

Hi,

I am trying to call a batch file which will install a software from a
particular drive which is shared by the entire organization.

I would like to execute this batch file when any user logs onto the
computer. How will I go about doing this.

Note: Let me give an example.

I have an OU called TEST
--- Computer
--- User

I tried linking the policy to the TEST OU and it did not execute. The batch
file is linked to the User Configuration\Logon. I then tried linking it to
the COMPUTER OU and it did not execute on that computer no matter who the
user is. I linked it to the User OU and it executed only for that user who
was in the user OU.

There has been lots of problems with the AD in this organization and I am
new to it. I have to get a file pushed by Monday night, I would appreciate
if experts could let me know what would be the right way for me to get this
pushed. It is not an MSI file. It is a batch file and it is calling an EXE
file which is from a shared drive for all users.

Appreciate your help guys/gals!

thanks in advance!
