Logon Scripts

Logon scripts are groups of commands that run when a user logs on to a computer. Administrators design logon scripts to automate the process of configuring a user environment. Administrators use the tools described below to manage logon scripts for individual user accounts, especially those defined locally.

Administrators use a different set of tools to manage scripts for groups of users and computers defined in Active Directory®. For more information about Group Policy startup, shutdown, logon, and logoff scripts, see Group Policy (pre-GPMC).
