How to make a GPO run a script now

[inssain96]

Logon and Startup scripts are great...

but what about engineers that don't log off of their machines for months? How do you run a script on those guys? Any one?

You could do the following

Within the OU for engineers set users Account logon times that are consistant with there working hours. Then set a group policy to log users off when their logon hours expire
Under GroupPolicy\Computer Config\Windows settings\Security settings\Local policies\Security Options
Set 'Automatically log off users when logon time expires' to enabled

To get to this right click the Engineers OU>Properties>Group Policy>Click Edit

If you don't have a OU for engineers you could set this at domain level as default logon hours are 24, so this policy won't affect other users.

The more you know, the more you realise there is to know....

Thanks for replying GWINTO,

I thought of that, but what about machines that sit under peoples desks for months with out being logged onto? Other than that I think having machines logged off once a week or so is a great idea.
