    Dear All,

    I am relatively new to GPO's so please excuse me if this question appears a little straight forward for some.

    We presently have a global standard Windows XP screensaver (logon.scr) applied via a User GPO to all domain users.

    I have now been asked to implement a temporary screensaver in place of the standard screensaver until July regarding a company specific matter. Although I am having issues as I need to get the temporary SCR file into all users %systemroot%\system32 to implement the policy. But access is denied due to domain users not having privileges to %systemroot%\system32.

    Does anyone have any solutions to this problem without having to relax permissions on the domain? For example a scripted copy using admin privileges but with the password encrypted? We use KIX and batch scripting here but my limit is simple copy commands i'm afraid.

    Any assistance is greatly received.

    Thank you

    create a script to copy it normally and then apply it as a startup script.

    logon scripts run with the users privileges, startup scripts run with system privileges
