Hello,
I want to use Group Policy to automatically run a program (batch script) that does the following:
1. Check if program exists
2. If program does not exist, install the program (run executable, create service and start it)
No user input is required (program automatically installs silently)
The only limitation is it might require administrator level account to install
The file to complete the installation is a batch file.
I understand that I can possibly accomplish this by putting the batch file into "startup" ->Computer Configuration->Policies->w
Someone also suggested that perhaps I can use run once of the registry, but I am not certain if this would work.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish my goal?
Thanks in advance.
