Can logon script be assigned to a user in a windows machine which is not a part of domain through powershell?

1

This is the suggested way to add a logon script to a local user in Windows. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770908.aspx

Edited:

I also found the following : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771314.aspx

Is it possible to add a logon script to a user through Local Users and Groups tab in Computer Management using powershell?

Update :

I am able to copy the script file to the location -\%COMPUTERNAME%\C$\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Star‌​t Menu\Programs\Startup' and it runs successfully. But in the local user properties I am not able to set the value of the attribute 'Logon script' to the desired value.

The duplicate question that this one was closed against no longer exists. There is NO duplicate. – Tog – 2013-12-16T14:44:31.127

Just to clarify, you're wanting to assign a script using PowerShell, vs the local group policy editor? As in, the script will assign the startup script? – Tanner Faulkner – 2013-12-16T15:59:14.343

Actually I want to do the script assignment through powershell script and not manually through local group policy editor. Is there a way to do that? – cmm user – 2013-12-17T05:38:12.433

I put my logon scripts in this folder. 

C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logon

So to answer

Copy-Item 'C:\temp\MyLogonScript.ps1' -destination 'C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\User\Scripts\Logon'
#

Edit: To install a logon script per user remotely, use this command. Don't forget to edit the %COMPUTERNAME% and %username%

Copy-Item 'C:\temp\MyLogonScript.ps1' -destination '\\%COMPUTERNAME%\C$\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Star‌​t Menu\Programs\Startup

if it fails, we'll need to add a snip to create the folder structure. – Knuckle-Dragger – 2013-12-17T09:37:09.273

Hi Knuckle.. I have found a different way to add the logon script.Rather than adding the script to the group policy the script can be added to the user. I have edited my post with the link having the steps to perform the operation. Can this be done through powershell? – cmm user – 2013-12-17T10:08:57.890

Change destination, C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup – Knuckle-Dragger – 2013-12-17T10:14:29.823

This worked fine.Thanks. But is it possible to do the same remotely? – cmm user – 2013-12-17T12:16:09.123

So you want to loop through a list of names from a text file ? We can copy the file over the $admin shares \\$SERVERNAMEVARIABLE\C$\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup – Knuckle-Dragger – 2013-12-17T13:28:24.450

No.I don't want to loop through a list of names.I just want to assign the logon script to a user on a remote machine. – cmm user – 2013-12-18T06:13:44.680

In that case, I'd just throw that C$ path into your destination. Updated the answer retro-actively – Knuckle-Dragger – 2013-12-18T21:15:13.777

I have put the command into a script and then I am running the script file remotely.So that is working fine. I am facing an issue.I have updated the question. – cmm user – 2013-12-19T10:48:13.943
