Run a startup Powershell script only once via GPO

[Skip]

Hello,

In the past I use to make Batch startup scripts run only once by creating a .txt file somewhere on the C: drive at the end of the script, the first line of the script would check if the file exist and then quit the script. This way I made sure that the script will run only once.

 

Now I have a PS command line that fixes AppX on Windows 10, I need to achieve the same but only that this time it has to run as a Powershell script.

 

I have tried to run the Powershell from with in a batch file:

"C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -executionpolicy bypass -NoProfile -file "C:\SoftwareInstall\CalcFix.ps1"

 

But that doesn't work.

 

Will be extremely useful if I could have a Powershell script that can do the same as what I've used to do in my Batch scripts.

 

Thanks

Hi there

You could use something on the lines of the code below. So it will check if the a text file is present. If not it will run whatever code you add. Then it will create a text file

 

Thanks

 

 

 

$Location = "Replace with File Location"

 

# Testing For File Named 1.txt In The Above Location

if (!(test-path -PathType Leaf -Path "$Location\1.txt")) {

 

#Here you will need the code in which you require#

 

# Creating a File Named 1.txt

New-Item "$Location\1.txt"

Another take on the above would be to create a reg key and then check if its there or not

I'd write the logs to a central store, and check that store, then a) you can check if it works, b) you can easily delete them to rerun
