Yes, startup scripts won't run at background refresh, even if you do a gpupdate /force command. The machine will process the script policy but won't actually execute the script unless you reboot.

All users have domain users rights. (no access to anything) I need a file copied over to c:\windows. I have added a start up script to the computer configurations but when I do a gpresult it does not apply. I have force a replication but it still does not seem to work.
