Question : BGINFO via GPO server 2008, error loading bgi file even though its all loaded correctly

Hi all,

ive deployed bginfo via gpo to a test machine and everytime it loads fine but then i get an error saying the bgi file had an error loading,

i have the bginfo.exe and the bgi config saved to a server share \\domain.local\share\logon
then i have a bat file in my gpo that calls those files, as so (in code)
is the bat file all correct?

also i created an WMI field so i could hide all the (none)'s
and now its showing an IPv6 address in there too straight after the IPv4 one
is there anything i can add to that statement to hide IPv6 addresses (i dont want to confuse users)
other than unticking Ipv6 on all machines?

THanks

It's a script file and should be saved as VBS.
