Re: Encrypting VB startup script

If all computers are members of the domain, and you have a domain account
that is a member of the local administrators account on all workstations
(any domain administrator member by default), you can script this remotely
instead of using a startupscript.
One of the problems you might be experiencing though is that the
startupscript is run under the computer context and not a user context. This
would mean that the local system and/or the computer domain account would
need to have access to whatever software you use to encrypt the script so
that it can unencrypt it when running it.

I have a VB script that will change the local administrator password on all
of our workstations to be be the same. I have encrypted the script in
order
to keep the password hidden. The encryption software saves the script
with a
.vbe extension. The startup script GPO will not run when it is using the
.vbe file. When I have it use the batch file, it works fine. I browse
out
the sysvol share and manually run the script without a problem. Do I need
to
configure something for the encrypted script to work? Or, is there
another
way to achieve the same result?
Thanks,
Chad Elliott
