GPO Logon Script vs. Profile Tab Script

Hello Everyone,

I would like to get some feedback on a problem that I am having with a script that I have running.

In our script we spawn a child process that runs in parallel with the primary script. This all works fine when the script is assigned to the users profile path. However when a logon script is started by a GPO and finishes, it terminates any processes that have been launched by it, even though these processes have not finished their job. We need these processes to run until they finished. We also need the primary script to finish as well.

Has anyone seen this problem?

Is there anything that would cause the script to process any differently in the GPO vs. the Profile tab?

Thanks
Mike

Yes, it is very different. You should not spawn separate processes that take any length of time to run.
