    What are you trying to accomplish?  What is in this batch file?

    Are you familiar with StartUp and Shutdown script?  Have you tried this?

    Hi COMDINI,

    Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums.

    Since the system is Windows Server 2008 R2, please check whether the article below can be helpful:

    Just to be sure, because with your question Iam not sure if it need to be run in the user or computer context.

    If the script need to be run in the user context just make a local GPO in the user context -> logon script.

    Keep in mind as a computer script will be run with nt autorithy\system account

    Hello Comdini,

    Apart from Group Policy computer configuration settings, we can run batch files by defining schedule tasks.

    Create a schedule task and define a time when it suppose to run.

    I suggest you go through below article and define your own task and schedule it.

    Hi Santhosh  ,  K_evin  & Yag_moth,

    thanks for your post. i tried it . but it wasn't success.  actually with that batch file it is starting a apache tomcat service.

    when i start it manually  , it is working. I want to do it on Computer Startup without login to user account.

    Hi EXRAPUL .

    I followed your link. but can't find after 2nd step.

    "

    1. In the console tree under Computer Configuration or User Configuration, expand the Preferences folder, and then expand the Control Panel Settings folder.

    2. Right-click the Scheduled Tasks node, point to New, and select Scheduled Task "

    Guys , please advise me on this.

    Regards, COMDINI

    Hi COMDINI,

    You mentioned "when I start it manually, it is working". Do you mean that the apache tomcat service can be started manually or this service can be started while manually running the batch file?

    Please kindly clarify the issue for us.

    In the meantime, please check whether the information in the thread below can be helpful:

    Did you try startup script? Not the startup in program files.

    Hi COMDINI,

    I agree with Santhosh.

    Please check and make sure that it is Computer Startup Script but not User Logon Script.

    Computer Startup Script should run on system start-up and before user logging on.

    Regards

    Kevin
