Anyone here have some good tips to get a .vbs script to run when a
computer is logged of or shut down?
I’ve been trying all kinds of things and got it to work correctly once,
most of the time the machine acts like the script doesn’t run at all.
Windows 7 64bit machines.

For Logged Off - Windows Task Scheduler.
For Logged Off or Powered Off - Use ZCM to Assign a Scheduled Task as
well as to Schedule WOL Power Up.

So my response to Craig’s comment is…
Unfortunately we don’t run ZCM…

Then you can build your own WOL task scheduler.
A bit more work…

Ton of free WOL tools, you just need to collect and associate MACs to
PCs you want to wakeup.
So on a Central Computer, Use the Windows Scheduler to run WOL tasks at
2am or whatever.
Then Have Windows Task Scheduler configured to run defined actions at
2:30am for good measure.

It’s a good thing you don’t, or Craig’s response would be considered
product support and you’d both get thwacked.

We are basically trying to get a script to run (in our VDI envir) that
exports the default printer reg setting to a .reg file, then have a
login script that imports that setting back in.
What we’ve tried so far we’ve gotten to work once, then the logoff
script never seems to work again.

You might have tried this already but we run a login VB script under
Group Policy: User Configuration; Windows Settings, Scripts
(Logon/Logoff), in Windows 7 and works every time.

The login script is not the problem, it’s getting one to run during
logoff or shutdown.
Moving now to try just running a scheduled task during the day,
thinking that might work out for us.

Ok, so figured out a scheduled task to do what I want, made the mistake
of being in the User portion of the GPO to get this to work when I need
to be in the Computer portion.
Set up the exact same script in the Computer portion of GPO, @#$%ing
scheduled task will not run.
Anyone have any suggestions? Aside from Zen, fdisk, etc, etc.

Never ever use mapped drive letters. Use a UNC path in all scheduled task
script actions on MS Windows.
I just battled some tasks and “relearned” this, this week.
Might help

Thinking this was a permissions issue. Ended up putting needed files
local to the VM templates, setting a scheduled task on the template,
the linked clones then run it fine.
Little bit of a PITA, but we only needed this for our virtual desktops
anyway, so it worked out ok…so far.
