How do to you make login script invisable to users? 1

[topgun72]

Hi,

I have a login script set up and running (a simple .bat file that has a one line execultable). I would like to make this invisable to users as right now it shows up in the task tray. Is there a way to hide it so users can't see this when they log in?

Thanks,
TG

you need to go to the group policy setting (at the domain or OU level) for 'run logon scripts visible' and disable it

that should do the trick

take a looko at the rest of the settings too

Thanks for the reply. I tried it and the batch file is still showing up in the tray.

what os are the clients?

forgot to mention a setting
try 'run logon scripts synchronously' (enabled)

as well as 'run logon scripts visible' (disabled)

while you're at it, go ahead and set 'run legacy logon scripts hidden' (enabled)

That worked! I think it was the run legacy logon scripts hidden that did the trick.

Thanks Brandon

glad to hear it

a .bat file is legacy and considered a 'NT4' script

go figure

they happen to be my personal favorite


glad to ehar it worked though buddy

a .cmd file will run everything that a bat file + lots more, and is not legacy.
