I have written a *.bat file that will copy a user's *.pst file from their local drive to the server so it will be backed up.

I need to implement a group policy that automatically runs this file when a user logs off the network.

Can I do this from the server or do I have to do it at each user station?

Currently running 2K Server with mixed 2K and XP Pro clients. I don't have a lot of experience with Group Policy.

I suggest downloading the GPMC from microsoft.

From there you can create a Group Policy object that is linked to the Domain or OU that contains the users that you want to run this script.

Set the User Configuration --> Windows Settings --> Scripts(Logon/Logoff) with the batch file you created.

Hope this helps.

Thanks - I have that part figured out now. I'm asking for help with writing the batch file in another post. Thanks, though!

I am running several labs and do not want to visit each machine. Do you have a copy of the scripts you could email me?
