Only the policy is refreshed so that the computer knows which scripts it
is supposed to run and when (i.e. startup/shutdown, logon/logoff).

 

Something you might look into is a (former Sysinternals, now Microsoft)
application called PsExec. It will allow you execute the patch against
your servers from a remote system. It even supports batch processing so
you can feed it a list of server names to run the patch against.

Subject: [gptalk] When Can Script Processing Occur?

 

I see the references to Startup/Shutdown and Logon/Logoff scripts, but
is that the only time a script can kick off?  Or does it periodically
refresh if new or changed?

We are trying to push out the DST patch to our 2k servers and had hoped
that a startup script GPO could do this.  It works fine if the machine
re-booted but I was hoping that if the machine is always left running
that the background refresh interval would kick in and the machine would
see a new GPO it had not executed, and bingo, the script would run.  So
far this has not happened.  It does not seem to run the script without
the re-boot.  Are scripts not part of the refresh processing?
