My DC is a Windows 2016 Server and the workstation is Windows 10. I am not able to get my logon script to work with GPO. The vbscript (for logon input) works fine when i manually click the button to "activate" the script. however, when I create
a new GPO and it doesn't appear. The script is located on the DC on one of the local drives and in the SYSVOL folder. Because I want the script to only work when i an administrator is logging in I decided to place the file:
Option 1: User Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts > Logon. then I clicked Browse in the "Add a Script" box and click on the vbscript under "Scripts" and I left the parameter option blank. I've also created batch file which points to the vbscript and does the same thing.
Option 2: thing I did was tried to create a scheduled task: User Configuration > Policies > Control Panel Settings > Scheduled Tasks. I choose New > Scheduled Task. Then in the Pop Properties, I named task. Under RUN, i browse to either file .vbs or .bat and unchecked "enabled (scheduled task runs at a specified time)" and left all other fields blank. Under the "schedule" tab, I clicked on the drop down box and selected "At Logon". Then click "Apply" and "Okay".
I currently have my admin account and authenticated user listed as the accounts to apply the GPO to and it's being applied to an OU with one test machine
So after I tried both options, separately, I right clicked on the GPO to run "Group Policy Update". It says success. I run gupdate /force, log off and then log back in to see if it works. after 5 minutes it still hasn't popped up, so I reboot, but I get the same results. NOTHING.
I thought initially it was related to permissions, but it's not because I was able to create a GPO to create a folder if it didn't exist. This worked fine when I tested it with my account and machine. I don't think it's a firewall issue, because I was able to create the folder using the same machine and accounts and it worked fine. I also ran a script to test port 3389 to validate.
I've ran out of ideas and not sure what it could be. Any assistance would be appreciated.
