Tutorials SilverlightThe startup scripts will be processed as the Local System, and will have the complete rights which are needed to operate as the Local System.
To do this, it is important that you log in as a member of the Domain Administrators, but you can also log in as a Group Policy Creator of Enterprise Administrator security.
For the sample scripts, your target computer will need to be running either Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2003.
You will also need the read only network share which comprises the Silverlight.exe installer, as well as the read-write network share which can be used for the storage of the centralized log files.
To use the scripts on the domain controller, you will also need to make a copy of the script, as well as any files which are dependent on it, and copy them to the Netlogon folder, or any shared folder for the domain controller which you want to run the script for.
One thing that I should also note is that the target system (computer) will need to have a Read permission for the source file locations which are connected to Silverlight. It will also need the Read and the Write permissions for the log file location.
It is best to make sure the log file is put within the local computer. Once you are ready to assign the startup scripts for the computer, you will need to follow these instructions:
a. Press Start, then click Control Panel, and then press Administrative Tools. After this, you will want to press Group Policy Management.
b. Once you have done this, inside the console tree, you will want to double click on Group Policy Objects inside the domain and forest that comprises the Group Policy Object, which you wish to edit. This can be found in Forest name/Domains/Domain name/Group Policy Objects.
c. You will next want to right click on the GPO you are interested in using for the assigning of scripts, and then press Edit. This will open up the console for the Group Policy Editor.
d. Inside the Group Policy Object Editor, within the console tree, you will want to press Scripts (Startup/Shutdown). This can be found within the Computer ConfigurationWindows Settings area.
e. Once you are in the details pane, you will want to double click on Startup.
f. Inside the Startup Properties dialog box, you will want to press Add.
g. Once you are inside the Add a Script box, you will need to type in the path for the script under Script Name, or you can Browse to find it in the shared folder.
Inside the Script Parameters section, you will want to type in the parameters you are interesting in using. Type them in just as you would with the command line.
Once you are in the Startup Properties box, you will want to define the options you are interested in.
Some of the options which are available include Startup Scripts for Group Policy objects, Add, Remove, Edit, and Show files.
The next thing that you will need to do is define the total amount of time for which you want the startup scripts to operate.
