Hi all,<br />
<br />
I have a written startup script that will uninstall a software package, reboot and then Install a newer version. this is applied to windows 7 computers by group policy.<br />
<br />
What i want to do it stop users from being able to login until the script has completed and also make the script visible so i can monitor the progress of the install.<br />
<br />
I've changed settings in GP to try and get it to behave the way I want but have had no luck.<br />
<br />
What settings should I have in place to make this happen?<br />
<br />
Thanks for the Help

Startup scripts and delaying user login

It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
