AD OU startup script to run once only

[helsknight]

I have a script I like to run once only. In AD I create an policy for the OU computer config\windows settings\startup. I think this is running everytime on startup. How can I tell the policy to just run once, if already ran disregard the script. Thanks

Write a custom registry setting to determine that the script has alreaady run. Read the registry and if the key is configured, use WSCRIPT.QUIT to end script execution.

I hope you find this post helpful.

thanks Mark, I just thought that windows would have a run once function. I'll try what you suggested.

Windows does, GPOs do not.
