Sometimes you need to run a command or script on all workstations. The logical choice is to use a Logon/Startup Script. The problem is that this repeats every time a user boots/logs on. There is a simple solution using Group Policy Prefrences. Create a "Scheduled Task" (User Pref or Computer Pref depending on your needs), under actions put in your command,  Set the task to Run Once.
  
USE Preferences\Schedule Task\One Time

Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Scheduled Task\New Immediate Task (Win 7+)

Set the usual task stuff, user, action, etc...  Then under the Common tab [x] Apply once and do not reapply.

Done!

Overview

Sometimes you need to run a command or script on all workstations. The logical choice is to use a Logon/Startup Script. The problem is that this repeats every time a user boots/logs on. There is a simple solution using Group Policy Prefrences. Create a "Scheduled Task" (User Pref or Computer Pref depending on your needs), under actions put in your command, Set the task to Run Once.

Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Scheduled Task\New Immediate Task (Win 7+) Set the usual task stuff, user, action, etc... Then under the Common tab [x] Apply once and do not reapply.

Done!
