Logon Batch file

[DD]

Hi,
I wish to run a Logon batch file on all desktops which are in Win 2003 ADS
through group policy but it should be completely hidden i.e i do not wish
even the command line screen to pop up. How can i achieve this.

Regards

You'll need to use a third party tool or a script to call the batch
file. See examples here:

Hi,
I have configured one script under group policy | user configuration| Admin
Template | system | logon | run these program at user logon which is running
fine, now the only issue is whenever the user logs in a command pop up
appears that displays the commands executed, I wish to completely hide this
process. how would i achieve this.

Did you bother reading anything on the links supplied? If nothing in
the links help then I can only suggest that you create an NT service out
of the script or batch file.

This is a change then in the newer (2003/2008) server versions?

No. GPO Scripts run hidden in every AD since 2000.
"classic" scripts (defined in netlogon and userproperties) where seen.

If they are applied by Group Policy, the default behavior is: Hidden

So, if they are not hidden, someone did change it
See: user config\adm templates\system\scripts
