Powershell logon script (GPO) not running win 7

group-policylogon-scriptspowershell

I have a powershell script that creates an Outlook signature.
It is applied via user-assigned GPO. All users are in the same OU, the group policy object is linked to that OU.

GPO:

User Configuration (Enabled)hide
Policieshide
Windows Settingshide
Scriptshide
Logonhide
For this GPO, Script order: Windows PowerShell scripts will run firstName Parameters 
SignatureUnifiedFull v2.ps1

It works flawlessly on Windows 10 devices, but windows 7 devices won't run it (even though it works when I run the script manually on the device).

I ran GPresult /R, and the policy did show up there…

Is there a difference in how windows 7 and 10 run their logon scripts?

I figured it out!

The script has a space in its name. I removed the space and... it works!

I don't know if I should feel stupid for not figuring it out sooner...

Logon script not running

In case anyone is curious.

You can try group policy setting:

computer config\admin templates\system\logon\always wait for the network at computer startup and logon

It does slow down PC startup, but it's helped me get login scripts to work in the past.

GPO: User logon script not running

This link here helped me to solve my problem:

http://rcmtech.wordpress.com/2011/06/09/how-to-get-clientname-within-logon-script-on-server-2008-r2-xenapp-6/

Now I am parsing the output of qwinsta and read the clientname from the registry which is earlier available then the var %CLIENTNAME%

Function Get-ClientName 
{
    $session = qwinsta $env:USERNAME
    $sessionId = $session[1].subString(39,9).Trim()

    return (Get-ItemProperty "HKCU:\Volatile Environment\${sessionId}\" -Name CLIENTNAME).CLIENTNAME
}

Then I am able to load my script from "User Configuration => Policies => Windows Settings => Scripts => Logon ..."
