Adding static route through group policy

route

We are trying to add a static route across all of our end user machines, we have setup a GPO object under Computer configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Scripts (startup/shutdown) > Startup.

The command in the batch file is:
route add 172.17.10.0 mask 255.255.0.0 172.16.12.100 -p

We have then rebooted/forced group policy to update and upon running a 'route print' in command line there is no route added, however adding a route through command line works perfectly.

Best Answer

According to some documentation I found,

Routes added by using the -p option are stored in the registry under the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip \Parameters\PersistentRoutes

Perhaps you could just use Group Policy Preferences to set the appropriate entries directly in the registry?
