Unfortunately scripts themselves only run during foreground events (i.e.
machine startup or user logon). During a background refresh, all that
happens is that if you add a new script to a GPO, the reference to that
script is stored in the registry for the next foreground event. If you want
to be able to run something in the background, your best bet is something
like Task Scheduler.

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?
