Hey all,
Maybe someone can help me out here.
We are trying to run a script when an application is being started. We have some applications that run from a network share so we only need to create a shortcut in UEM (yes, I will still call it that for a long long time.. , BIG UEM that is ) but we also need to register some .dll and some.ocx files before startup.
We could off course create a startup script in which we load these files but to be honest, if someone has a lot of these files logon will be stalled.
It seems that when you create an Application Personalization you can start a script by adding User Enviornment settings. What I tried now (just for testing purposes) is to start up Notepad just before I'm startign up Workdpad. Looking at task manager, I can see Notepad being started so the process does seem to work but there are 2 issues with this. First notepad does not show up, it seems as if the Pre-import task is being run by a different account. Second, it seems to take ages before WordPad starts up (up to 10 seconds).
Is this default behaviour? Can we execute a script or application just before starting the application? Is there another way to fix this without using a logon script and withoput compromising in performance??
