Well, you could do it the old-fashioned way and just save that as it is as Whatever.cmd, and assign it as a logon (not startup!) script:<br />
Create System Startup / Shutdown and User Logon / Logoff Scripts <br />

But since Server 2008, there are Group Policy Preferences, which allow you to configure registry settings as required, without using scripts:<br />

Did you check whether the GPO in question was applied to the user(!) in question?<br />
Either through the GPMC (can run remotely against a client), or locally on the client with rsop.msc?

Going from memory here: select the GPO (not a link) in the left pane; in the right pane, under one of the tabs, you should see the replication state of this GPO for your DCs.<br />
Start troubleshooting from there.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
