Windows Server 2008 startup script
I have a very simple script to email me when it reboots. I place the script in the GPO, copy it to both the scripts folder in the sysvol and the policy folder. I test the script works on the server. But on reboot, I get no email. is there a logging function I can turn on or something? I did turn on the gpo (to wait for network) for fast logon.blankmonkey

Hello, did you check with rsop.msc that the GPO is applied correct?Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Hi, Can't you attach a task to the event that a reboot happend in event viewer (event ID) to send you an e-mail rather then using a script, however both should work I beleive. Regards

You might also be able to accomplish this with a scheduled task on the server that runs at system startup, rather than using a GPO. This might be favorable if the number of systems that this is desired for is a relatively small number or is not easily applied using a GPO. -- Mike Burr
