Stop a Custom Script from running
Hi All, I've created a custom script configuration that deploys a .vbs script. This script displays a pop up message on the target machine with yes and no buttons. If yes is clicked, a browser and website is displayed, no closes the pop up. This is all working fine and I deployed with the frequency set to "every startup until 31st Jan 16:00" I've noticed that if I remove a machine from the target list, the pop up still appears. I assume that's because the .vbs has been downloaded locally to "....\computer\startup\"
