I made an OU called test under domain comptuers and moved my computer there. I mapped a gp policy called testShutdownScript to the OU and editted it so that it applied to domain computers. I went under computer configuration>policies>windows settings>scripts>shutdown and added my script that is as follows:

cd "c:\"
echo "Test" > test.txt
exit

I ran gpupdate on my pc and shut it down. The text file never generated leading me to believe the script never ran. How can I be sure it didnt run and is there something I missed in setting up the policy?

Hi,

I would like to confirm that did you follow the below article to set your shutdown script policy:

Make sure that the script is placed under the below path:

\\domain.com\sysvol\domain.com\{xxxx-guid-xxxx}\computers\scripts

I followed the steps on the article prior to posting here but ran through them again to be 100% certain I didnt make a mistake the first time. I also moved my script from a network share to the directory you specified. I will update group policy on my machine, shutdown, and notify you of the results.
