Re: Group Policy - Shutdown/Startup Scripts Question

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi,

Also, Startup and Shutdown scripts run with System permissions on the local
computer, but the permissions of the computer object in the domain. A script
that works with your credentials may not work if the computer object lacks
permission. You may need to grant "Domain Computers" permissions.
