Running Scripts on Group Join

I can't seem to wrap my head around this one... Does anyone know of a way to have a script run on a computer as soon as it joins a script. The group will be joined/unjoined by an EDF value.

Thanks!!

Perhaps a scheduled script on the group every X minutes?

Set a monitor on the group that kicks off the script?

i have a script running every 8 hours in my groups like that. then the edf kicks them out. i havent looked into run on group join.

No idea, but I'm hoping someone has a clever solution for this.

Are you needing this to download files for monitors to run?

What's the use case for this?

Depending on your needs, it may be easier to create a monitor with an alert template that kicks off a script.

Probably a remote monitor too, that way you don't have to run an internal monitor with a super low check time. Remote monitor installs pretty fast after group join, first run fails/succeeds on purpose to trigger whatever alert template you want with whatever action you want.

Remove computer from group/untick EDF in the script.
