Schedule a GPO Link?

[creativemario]

Hey!

 

Bit of a quick one - Is it possible to schedule a GPO to apply from a specific point?

I can't find anything online about this, so I presume that it isn't possible, but maybe someone here knows how to work some magic!

 

The query relates to changing proxy settings if anyone is wondering.

 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I guess that you could use Scheduled Tasks to run a Powershell script at a certain time that applies a GPO.

I'd go with a scheduled task that links a GPO (already created for testing purposes ?) to an ou:

 

Set-GPLink -Name TestGPO -Target "ou=MyOU,dc=contoso,dc=com" or Set-GPLink -Guid 77c5285d-952e-4559-94ef-a02f5c107799 -Target "ou=MyOU,dc=contoso,dc=com"

You can call GPO settings with a powershell script if you want..

 

Here is an example that may get you on the path..

What are you trying to achieve?

If you can access system time from WMI I suppose theoretically just using a WMI filter based on the time might work.
