Hi,

Startup scripts run with System permissions on the local computer, and the
permissions of the computer object in the domain. I grant the group "Domain
Computers" permission to read/write in a shared folder and this allows my
StartUp script to write to a log file in the shared folder. You would need
to grant Read & Execute to allow a Startup script to run a program in the
share. I don't know why this doesn't work for you.
