Answer Wiki:
Yes, you can use a GPO to setup a scheduled task which would be created on all the machine which are effected by the GPO. Put the batch file in a network share, then add a scheduled task to the GPO. By the next day all the machines will have the new GPO settings and will begin running the task.

Check out the pstools available from Microsoft.
One of the apps in the list is psexec. You can create your batch file on the server, create a scheduled task to run the batch file. In that batch file should be something like:

psexec \* \servernameshare123.bat

You may need to include the -u adminaccount -p password switches, depending on the type of information you need.

Make sure the batch file is located in a directory that your pc’s will have access too.

That’s what I have done…in a nutshell.

You could also create a file and email it to your users and have them run it or somehow tie it into another login script elsewhere on your network such as an intranet site.
