Deploying Screensaver

[Steve21]

But where do i put the commands? in the .reg file i have set to run in GPO, or in the parameters box in the Startup script GPO?

 

Well how are you running it currently? If you're doing it through script/bat can't you just do a run of it? In your startup script you're running a BAT?

No I am currently running it on it's own. In the GPO it runs a startup script called logon_screensaver.reg.

Guess you could try running a script that just does: REGEDIT /S logon_screensaver.reg

 

Not sure if you can do it direct through GPO, never tried tbh. Try adding a /s or -s to the GPO parameters, but not much use on that side sorry.

I have tried that in the parameters but it still asks me if i want the registry changes to be added.

we just use

 

reg import logon_screensaver.reg

 

then make sure the script and logon_screensaver.reg are both saved in the startup folder of the group policy.

 

I think while logged in it will prompt when running startup it won't.

This inside a batch file has done the trick.

 

REGEDIT /S \\Server\scripts\logon_screensaver.reg

 

Even though the batch file and reg file are in the same location without entering the full path it just would not work.
