Hi all. In my domain i have set the logon script for all my users under
profile tab of the user account properties. I have also create a gpo for
machine startup script to run under "computer configuration/windows
settings/scripts/startup". Hence i would like to know which of the 2 execute
first when a user bootup his machine and logon to domain. Thks in advance.

The machine Group Policy settings apply first as they need to be applied
prior to the ALT+CRTL+DEL screen. The user specific policies apply
afterwards, after the user provided his/her credentials.

The machine startup script will be executed before the user profile script.

cheers,

as an addition to Florians post:
If you combine a "classic" login script (user properties) with a
GPO logon script in user configuration, the classic will run first.
