I would typically run the app, then set a registry key or create a file, and build in an "IF EXISTS" clause somewhere in the script J Regards, Jake Langerak ITIUM - Partners in ICT Keizersgracht 442 1016 GD AMSTERDAM The Netherlands T: +31 (0)20 - 620 81 99 F: +31 (0)20 - 623 06 79 M: +31 (0)6 - 41 17 80 57 Van: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Namens WATSON, BEN Verzonden: donderdag 18 september 2008 17:24 Aan: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Onderwerp: [gptalk] Run Once GPO Is it possible to create a group policy that sets a program to run once and then not run again? We have deployed the Microsoft EFS Assistant application to company laptops, however it needs to run at least once to do its initial encryption run. However it seems to hit machines hard for about 10 to 15 minutes on average after a logon when set to run at every login. I would prefer to have it run once and then not run again unless manually invoked by the user. Is this possible? _______________________________________ Best way to annoy your co-workers?
