Hi,
I'm trying to install some software with a vbs placed Computer GP
Startup but I recieve a WSH error message:

The system cannot find the file specified
Code: 8007002
Source: Null

The exe I'm trying to run is on a server and the EVERYONE permissions
set to Full Control. If I run the script locally or from the User GP
login it runs no problem. I set the setting in GP so it waits for the
network to initiate before executing any scripts but still no joy.
I'm not sure if this a VBS issue or a Group Policy issue..

HELP!!


Cheers
Tyler

There is no user when a startup script runs. Probably the computer object
does not have permission to find the file. Startup scripts run with System
privileges on the local computer but with the permissions of the computer
object elsewhere in the domain. Give the group "Domain Computers"
permissions to read in the share where the file is located.
