You can run four types of scripts from Group Policy, triggered by the following:

User logon

The scripts run by Group Policy can be Windows PowerShell or any other scripting
language supported on the client computers. Any Windows Script Host (WSH) language
is supported. You can set up the scripts on a domain controller and then copy them to
the Netlogon shared folder on the domain controller. You can also specify the scripts
in the Group Policy Management Editor. Logon and logoff scripts are located in User
Configuration/Policies/Windows Settings/Scripts. Startup and shutdown scripts are located
in Computer Configuration/Policies/Windows Settings/Scripts.
You can have multiple scripts for each of the four scripts folders, both PowerShell and non-
PowerShell scripts. You can specify the order in which the scripts run and you can specify that
all PowerShell scripts run first or last.
