### Investigating Scheduled Task Execution at Scale via GPO
Group Policy Objects can be used by attackers as a mechanism for an attacker to instruct an arbitrarily large group of clients to
execute specified commands at Startup, Logon, Shutdown, and Logoff. This is done by creating/modifying the `scripts.ini` or
`psscripts.ini` files. The scripts are stored in the following path: `<GPOPath>\\Machine\\Scripts\\`, `<GPOPath>\\User\\Scripts\\`
#### Possible investigation steps:
- This attack abuses a legitimate mechanism of the Active Directory, so it is important to determine whether the activity is legitimate
and the administrator is authorized to perform this operation.
- Retrieve the contents of the script file, check for any potentially malicious commands and binaries.
- If the action is suspicious for the user, check for any other activities done by the user in the last 48 hours.
### False Positive Analysis
- Verify if the execution is allowed and done under change management, and legitimate.
### Related Rules
- Group Policy Abuse for Privilege Addition - b9554892-5e0e-424b-83a0-5aef95aa43bf
- Scheduled Task Execution at Scale via GPO - 15a8ba77-1c13-4274-88fe-6bd14133861e
### Response and Remediation
- Immediate response should be taken to validate activity, investigate and potentially isolate activity to prevent further
post-compromise behavior.
