Hello, 

 

Can anyone tell me how I can run a batch script or a vbs script when the OS starts up? We are building a thin client network pxe boot system, and would like to run some batch scripts when the client boots.

 

If anyone can guide me through this, or tell me if there is an existing batch file that runs on startup (I think there is, but I can't find it) that I can edit and add too,  it would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

There are many different "places" where batch-files can be started from. You can use Microsoft's SysInternals' AutoRuns to learn about many of them. Most of these "places" correspond to different phases of startup, so you need to choose a "place" where your dependencies are met, where user interaction is or isn't desired, before or after a user is logged in, etc.

Can you give us a clue as to what OS you are booting to? Linux, WinPE v1/2/3/4, Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 etc?
