This was an interesting thread, but I have come up with a better/different solution for oeminfo.ini. Machine startup script in the GPO: @echo off if '%COMPUTERNAME%' == 'SERVER_1' goto SkipUpdate if '%COMPUTERNAME%' == 'SERVER_2' goto SkipUpdate attrib -r -h -s %SystemRoot%\system32\oeminfo.ini del /q %SystemRoot%\system32\oeminfo.ini @echo [General] > %SystemRoot%\system32\oeminfo.ini @echo Manufacturer=Tech Support >> %SystemRoot%\system32\oeminfo.ini @echo Model=PC >> %SystemRoot%\system32\oeminfo.ini @echo [support Information] >> %SystemRoot%\system32\oeminfo.ini @echo line1=***** Tech Support Contact Information *****>> %SystemRoot%\system32\oeminfo.ini @echo line2=Etc etc etc..>> %SystemRoot%\system32\oeminfo.ini :SkipUpdate /script I'm making sure the oeminfo.ini isn't marked as read only or a system file etc Delete the oeminfo.ini Then echo in all the information I need right from the machine startup batch.... The BMP isn't copied but it isn't required, on our domain the above script works perfectly... I don't have to copy the OEMINFO.ini from anywhere, no network login issues, and by running it in the machine startup it's the local admin which always has rights to the system32 directory...
