There are about 180 servers where I need to deploy a Batch file just once. I created that file but I don’t want to initiate the same through a startup or logon script as I said it just need to be ran one time only.
So I wanted to know if there is any alternate way running this file via GPO? Please let me know how.
Yes, there is alternate way. You can easily do this by using a registry key named "RunOnce"and provide the path to the script. But remember still you will need a script to create RunOnce key. You can make use of Script command to create the same. It should be something like this:
Quote:
IF EXIST \\server\share\%computername%.txt goto end
start /w mytask.exe
:end
Help appreciated Lavin but i think the run once key would require user intialization such as a logon, right? If yes, let me remind that i dont want to initialization such as a logon/logoff or restart. So any other suggestion please?
Ohh yeah. You are correct. Sorry for the same. RunOnce obviously requires a user login hence it is of no use for you. In other suggestion i think probably any third party software can do the job. BTW if you are on GP Preference already, you can deploy a scheduled task and start it only one.
I'm not sure but i can say that creating a text file with the listing of target servers (one per line) and execute the following from the Command
Prompt may help you. Just give it a try:
FOR /F %i in (c:\temp\ServerList.txt) DO COPY RunMe.cmd \\%i\c$ /Y
FOR /F %i in (c:\temp\ServerList.txt) DO AT \\%i 22:00 c:\RunMe.cmd
Here note that i assume it's C:\Temp\ServerList.txt) and you want to execute
it at 10PM. You must also check this Microsoft KB for more info: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...4/hey0922.mspx
