    Hi, 

    I have CS6 package in .VBS format. Is there a way I can deploy this software using GPO. Can any one explain me in steps?

    Thanks very much for your help

    Regards,

    You can always deploy a VBscript as a startup script in the Machine configuration of group policies (look for startup and shutdown scripts section).

    Hello,

    You need to use a start script with "cscript" (or wscript).

    cscript "path\myscript.vbs"

    Please also enable these settings:

    http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#1839 (set it to enabled)
    http://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#2299 (set it to 0)

    Be aware that an infinite wait time for script could be dangerous.

    Why? As long as you do not change the default file associations,
    .vbs/.wsf will open with wscript by default... For .ps1, you're right,
    of couse - MS did not associate powershell.exe with .ps1. But for
    VBScript files, they did...
     
    NO THEY ARE NOT EVIL, if you know what you are doing: Good or bad GPOs?
