I need a deploy a LOG-OFF script through GPO, which will open up a pop up window message to the users, so the user has an opportunity to enter their ID before they leave for the day (it’s for payroll- keeping track of hours) and will halt Internet Explorer to a webpage,
Please help.
To assign computer shutdown scripts
Open the Local Group Policy Editor.
In the console tree, click Scripts (Startup/Shutdown). The path is Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Scripts (Startup/Shutdown).
In the results pane, double-click Shutdown.
In the Shutdown Properties dialog box, click Add.
In the Add a Script dialog box, do the following:
In Script Name, type the path to the script, or click Browse to search for the script file in the Netlogon shared folder on the domain controller.
In Script Parameters, type any parameters that you want, the same way as you would type them on the command line. For example, if your script includes parameters called //logo (display banner) and //I (interactive mode), type //logo //I.
In the Shutdown Properties dialog box, specify the options that you want:
Shutdown Scripts for : Lists all the scripts that are currently assigned to the selected Group Policy object (GPO). If you assign multiple scripts, the scripts are processed in the order that you specify. To move a script up in the list, click it and then click Up. To move a script down in the list, click it and then click Down.
Add: Opens the Add a Script dialog box, where you can specify any additional scripts to use.
Edit: Opens the Edit Script dialog box, where you can modify script information, such as name and parameters.
Remove: Removes the selected script from the Shutdown Scripts list.
Show Files: Displays the script files that are stored in the selected GPO.
You have to write your own script to call one of those programs. No one else does it that way.
