That is how I do many of them. I also use an if exists clause so it does not run every time.
Here is the one I use to reset the computers in windows update. It looks for a text file, if it exists it knows hit has already run...if not it runs and creates it for the next time. if exist c:\wsus.txt goto end echo %date% %time% >> c:\wsus.txt reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /v AccountDomainSid /f reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /v PingID /f reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate /v SusClientId /f net stop wuauserv net start wuauserv wuauclt /resetauthorization /detectnow :end -----Original Message----- From: Eric Wittersheim [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 9:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Possible to have GPO assigned software package install at shutdown?
