SynchronousCommand
Applies To: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Vista
SynchronousCommand specifies a single command to run the first time a user logs on to the computer. FirstLogonCommands are run after logon but before the user sees the desktop.
If you create a user account that does not include administrative privileges, the following commands may not run:
If User Account Control is enabled, then when that user logs in for the first time, a dialog box appears, prompting the user with an option to allow an administrator to apply the commands. If the user selects Cancel, these commands don’t run.
If User Account Control is disabled, these commands don’t run.
When you add a script using FirstLogonCommands, it will be triggered on the next boot, even if you boot into audit mode using Ctrl+Shift+F3. If you plan to use audit mode later, add the following setting to skip this script automatically: Microsoft-Windows-Deployment\Reseal\Mode = Audit.
