Having an issue with the below scenario and i think i need to come at it from a different angle but need some more eyes/brains. I think the issue is to do with as the machine is in shutdown mode when the script runs the reg cannot be written to. any ideas on a different way of doing this? You can schedule tasks at startup and logon but not at shutdown or logoff.
Situation presents itself as follows: Users who carry laptops get proxy settings assigned via gpo. When the users logoff and go home they logon to a cached copy of their profile. Hence we need a script to kill their IE proxy settings at shutdown. So what i have done is create the script which toggle the proxy enable regkey, add it to a shutdown script gpo for the OU the laptops all reside in and whacko. Running the script manually works a treat however running the script automatically at shutdown doesn't. If i turn on 'show shutdown scripts as visible" in gp a dialog box pops up which my eyes cant read. I have tried to photo it but i need to blow it up more than the phone will allow. A few things: wpad cannot be used i can created a proxy.pac file which i could push to with gp however this is a per user setting not a workstation setting which is what i require. laptop users also do have pc's which they work from so we cant apply this policy on a user base nothing of any sort in the event logs there is a requirement that this process be totally transparent to the user user access level has no bearing on the outcome. OU structure doesnt allow for a user/logoff script instead of shutdown local profiles on the laptop cannot be used on the laptop at home, must be cached domain profile Thanks Greg ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
