I never realize a scheduled task had to option for "When my computer starts". That's exactly what I'm looking for.

But change it to 'At Startup' for the context of how he describes when it runs now? From: Jackson, Jeff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 1:07 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Startup script security context How about running the script as a scheduled task? Set the task up on the "At logon" schedule. And, of course, use "Run as:" to define the account you want it to run as. Jeff From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 30, 2009 7:59 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Startup script security context I don't believe that is possible in any supported way. The GPO policy processing engine invokes the various extensions for processing each policy, and that runs as LocalSystem, and invokes each engine as LocalSystem. What problem are you trying to solve? It may be possible impersonate another user (though probably not safely via script, but your script could invoke something else) Cheers Ken From: Christopher Bodnar [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, 30 November 2009 11:37 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Startup script security context I have a startup script running as part of the local group policy on a server. I know it's running in the context of the Local System account. Is there any way to modify that to use a different account?
