Login Scripts

[rotomme]

I have Login scripts that I want to run on some servers. For example if I enable it in Group Policy these scripts will run on every user account when they log into the network. I only want the scripts to run on some servers not all. Is there a way around this?

You can use security to target specific computers...make a GPO with the login script and edit the secuirty settings to allow only the computers you want it to run on have read-access. I would think you should remove any other users/computers/groups that you don't want. Just be careful not to remove necessary security settings for the admins and system accounts.

Where do you edit the security setting for the GPO?

Im a little confused on how this will work.

Check out the picture:

So where is says Authenticated Users you would remove that and enter in the computers/users you want it to apply to.

I set it up like that and it doesnt work. It keeps running the scripts wherever I log in. Driving me crazy.

Hmmm...interesting. I've never had to troubleshoot GPO, so I'm at a loss of words.

If you set it up like the image than it will run on every computer in the OU that you applied it to.. Did you do what he said under the image

Create a group and add the computers you want the script to run on to that group.

Then, like it shows in the image... remove authenticated users and add the group that you just created.

With doing this.. it will run the script on ANY computer that is in that OU that is part of the group you just created

I only want the script to run on a specific group of computers. I added that group to the security filtering and it still runs on any machine I log into.

Driving me crazy this thing.

OK.. i think we are actually misunderstanding you..

Lemme get this straight

You want to set a USER login script but you only want the script to run when they log on to specific computers?

am I way off here?
