I created a deployment script via GPO that WORKS. YW :)

The GPO deployment instructions and batch file provided don't work with Windows 10. After 2 days messing around with that, I gave up and decided to make my own and I finally got one that works as a startup script, for GPO deployment, in Windows 10.

Zoho, take note here as your instructions and script need to be updated ok!

You need your Assist installer and .ISS on a server share where you know your computers can access it. In the Example below that is \\SERVER.domain.com\ZohoAssist

This works when added as a startup script through Computer GPO

You can adjust the timeout line for more seconds if your computers are slower.

Here it is:


  2. @echo off

  4. reg query "hklm\software\zoho assist\unattended remote support"
  5. if %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 goto NORUN

  7. if not exist "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\temp\" mkdir "%systemdrive%\temp\"

  9. xcopy \\SERVER.domain.com\ZohoAssist %systemdrive%\temp\zohoinst /c /q /e /k /h /y /i

  11. start /wait %SYSTEMDRIVE%\temp\ZohoInst\ZA_access.exe /z"-silent" -s -f1"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\temp\ZohoInst\ZohoAssistAgent.iss"

  13. timeout /t 60

  15. Del %SYSTEDRIVE%\temp\ZohoInst /f /q /s
  16. rmdir %SYSTEDRIVE%\temp\ZohoInst /s /q

  18. :NORUN
  19. exit
I hope this saves some of you from the the frustration of getting GPO deployment to work
