As a startup script why would you bother with a batch file when it's really only 1 line long?<br />
Just publish it as <i>\\&lt;server&gt;\&lt;share&gt;\setup.e<wbr />xe /qn</i>?<br />
<br />
Be that as it may.. the next step to isolating it is to add a pause to the end of it, which will keep the window open and see if it pops an error, or if it is even running at all. <br />

I added the pause as you suggested and it appears that nothing ran at all.

I have been attempting to roll out a piece of software via GPO startup script and for some reason the installation does not launch as it should. &nbsp;The way in which I am trying to run this is with a simple batch file that looks like this:<br />
<br />
@echo off<br />
\\&lt;server&gt;\&lt;share&gt;\setup.e<wbr />xe /qn<br />
<br />
I am able to launch the batch file manually and it runs without issue.<br />
<br />
The new GPO is linked to a Computer OU and after checking a test client machine, RSOP shows the policy is being applied (with the bat file under the startup scripts). <br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem with Startup Script

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. 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).

Windows Server 2003

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
