A computer startup script will run in the SYSTEM context and therefore
has sufficient privileges to copy a file into the folder. The script can
be as simple as the following batch command:
copy \\server\share\hosts %windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

As I wrote before: don't do that as a user logon script but a computer
startup script:
Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Scripts - Startup. - It'll run
under the SYSTEM context and has therefore sufficient privs.

I tried that and it doesnt works. I managed to do a work around. I created
another GPO which gives everyone modify permissions to hosts file. This is
under security and File System.

Dear All,
I want to deploy a host file via group policy. Can someone help me out on
how to do this.
I dont want to use DNS as this host file is for a legacy application which
doesnt look at DNS and only refers to the local host file.
Please help.
