My place to speak about things
We use Citrix for a lot of applications, and I have a need to launch Outlook, then an application, and then close Outlook when that application is closed by the user. This seems like a pretty simple thing to do (and I suppose it is, sort of) but it took me a while to figure [...]
If you want to know what logon script users are getting, this is an easy way to get that information: Import-Module -Name ActiveDirectory Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "OU=YourOUName,DC=YourDomain,DC=COM" -properties ScriptPath | Export-Csv "c:\script\ADUser.csv" Note: In order for this to work, you have to have the ActiveDirectory Module loaded.
