Question : Deploying and running BGinfo through group policy (500pts)

I am currently trying to deploy BGinfo through group policy for all users on all computers on our network. I have been using my machine to test the program and get the configuration file right.

From the commandline on my machine I am running bginfo with the following switches.

Bginfo.exe file.bgi /taskbar /all /silent /nolicprompt where file.bgi is the configuration file.

Now that I have all the settings etc squared away I want to be able to distribute this through group policy and use all the settings and switches I have above. I also want to make sure that this program is installed/ran on the users machine with administrative rights.

I know several on here have done this in the past so Im hoping you can help.

Thanks

Answer : Deploying and running BGinfo through group policy (500pts)

Create or change a GPO linked to the OU in which the users are that should run bginfo during logon, and assign a logon script:

The "script" to run can be an exe file as well (your bginfo.exe), and it can run from a network share (%Logonserver%\netlogon; use it exactly like this, it will expand to the server that authenticated the user). The netlogon share is usually physically located in %Systemroot%\sysvol\sysvol\your.domain.name\scripts, or enter %Logonserver%\netlogon into the run menu.
The arguments to use for the "script" are the ones from above.
