Re: Want to run a script at logoff

Hello Ashpoint,

If you use gpedit.msc you work locally on the server, in a domina configure GPOs with GPMC and add them to the OUs where either the user or computer is located.

We have a Windows 2003 Server domain and WinXPPro workstations that
are all joined to the domain. All my GPO work has been on the server.

Hello Ashpoint,

Do you have a domain or only workgroup machines?

Hi Meinolf...

I'm confused about your comment "The GPO with the script has to be
linked to the OU, not container, where the user accounts are
located"

I used the MMC and added the Group Policy Object Editor in the
(default) "Local Computer"

In there, I navigated to User Configuration, Scriots (Login/Logoff)
and selected Logoff.

In there I added \\Myserver\netlogon\logoff.bat

I díd do a GPUpdate /Force AND also revisited the system after
overnight.

The login script still does not run.

Hello Ashpoint,

The GPO with the script has to be linked to the OU, not container,
where the user accounts are located. Then you have to wait 90-120
minutes for automatic GPO refresh or run gpupdate /force or reboot.

I assume you have used Group policy management console, gpmc.msc
(console for domain management)? Or did you run Group policy editor
gpedit.msc (locally on the machine)?

I have a small DOS batch file that I would ike to run when a user
logs off their workstation.

I have no experience with Group Policy but laoded the Group Policy
utility in the MMC and "think" I added the file to the right
section for logout scripts. But, the script does not get run.

I've tested the script and it works fine, I just need to know how
to configure the GP so that the script runs on the worksation when
the user logs off.

Maybe someone can direct me to a "dummy's" HowTo step by step to
show me the way?
