Windows 10 Login Script
We are testing windows 10 (Enterprise).
We are finding that some parts of our login scripts (specifically registry hacks and copying files to the root of C, and likely others) fail (or prompt you) during the execution of the login script.
Tried changing the User Account Control Setting (Control Panel | User Accounts) to Never Notify which helped a bit but still encountered issues.
Changed the registry entry EnableLUA to 0 which resolved the login script issues however, the Edge browser and W10 audio player (and probably other native W10 apps) fail with the error "This app can't open. Microsoft Edge can't be opened using the built in Administrator account. Sign in with a different account and try again.
Googled that error and apparently this is by design.
What are the best practices in a corporate domain environment to get around this limitation?
Thanks!

You used it wrong all the way on prior OS' already. Use a start script for actions that require administrative privileges, not a logon script, that's all :)

We do use start up scripts in some situations (as well as shutdown scripts). These are however local on the clients. Seems less efficient having to maintain ever changing scripts on 200 PCs whereas the login scripts are on the DCs and replicate keeping everything tidy.
Am I misunderstanding?
Thanks!
