RE: [ActiveDir] startup scripts not running

[freddy_hartono]

How about doing a workaround as in copying the exe to local %windir% or some other variables?   Perhaps an if not exist statement copy, if not exist %windir%\test.exe copy %logonserver%\share\test.exe   Since computer startup is run as system which should have full access to your machine, this should overcome if it is by any chance a permission issue…   Thank you and have a splendid day!   Kind Regards,   Freddy Hartono Windows Administrator (ADSM/NT Security) Spherion Technology Group, Singapore For Agilent Technologies E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Crawford, Scott Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 7:25 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] startup scripts not running   I would say that the computer’s account doesn’t have access to the .exe.   Where is the .exe located?  If its in the GPO’s script folder, it should have inherited the Authenticated Users permission by default.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Creamer, Mark Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 3:51 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] startup scripts not running   It is a vbs. Actually, though, I found out a little more. I put a fresh server into the same OU, and rebooted. Turns out most of the script is successful. The only part that isn’t is a line that calls an executable file (.exe), which is also located in the same folder as the vbscript.   If I wait until the server is fully logged in, the script runs the executable with no problem. If I leave it to the startup script to run, it does not. I’m using the Exec method of the wscript object, such as:   Ws.exec(“myexecutable.exe”)   Does that make sense?   Thanks again, Mark   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 3:34 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] startup scripts not running   Is it a vbs? If yes, have you tried calling it from a bat file? Does it work if you do that? What you can do depends on the outcome of that test.   Deji From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Creamer, Mark Sent: Monday, March 28, 2005 11:54 AM To: activedir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] startup scripts not running   I have a situation in which startup scripts assigned to various OUs where different servers are located are not running. If I log in as a domain admin, browse to the location of the script in the GPO assigned to the OU where that server is located, I can launch the script with no problem.   I’m having trouble figuring out why the script won’t launch on its own.   The only thing I’ve found so far in troubleshooting a startup script is to look for an entry in the Application log with a source of Userinit. However, I see no such entries. Can anyone think of what I might need to look at? What permissions need to be enabled on the Policy itself, just in case that’s the issue?   Thanks, Mark This e-mail transmission contains information that is intended to be confidential and privileged.
