Hi everyone, i've a logoff script deployed with my domain gpos. (2003 domain) I want he script to run even if the user is not physically connected to the network. I configured the local policy, and copied the script on the computer. It's working fine when the user is not connected. The question : when the user is phiscally connected on the domain, will the script run twice ? one time because of the gpo, and a second time because of the local policy ? Is there a way to bypass the local policy and to use only the gpo ?

The result should be 1 time and domain group policy is applied if computer is connect network.

1. GPO is executed mainly in the following order: LSDOU. Unless you do any measures that block it. 2. Logoff script is usually used in pair with logon script. If you need to do something when user is not logged, then consider using computer GPO. 3. GPO is saved (cached) and unless you change the GPO and force to execute it, it will remains untached. 4. It is not good idea to change default domain policy, unless you have a serious reason to do so. Apply GPO to objects in OU.

If you have a script stored in a GPO and another script (even though they are the same script) in a local policy, they are both going to run in the scenario you described. Visit anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.

Hi, As Milos Puchta mentioned that the GPO applying order is Local, Site, Domain and OU, so the local Group Policy will be overridden by the GPO applied to Site, Domain and OU. If local Group Policy settings are the same as the GPO applied to Site, Domain and OU, it is not necessary to link the GPO with the same Group Policy settings to Site, Domain and OU again.
