BleepingComputer.com: Making a .bat run silently via GPO?

Here's my batch file, in its entirety:

@echo off
 
NET USER Administrator newpasswordhere

I've been on the search engines and seen suggested adding "/B" before the command I'm executing (didn't work) and "/Silent" after the command I'm executing (also didn't work). What sort of switch or extra line can I add to the code to make it run silently?

It is part of the group policy that starts when a user logs onto the network. But they're still getting prompted with, "This publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?" It should be something that no user sees.

Sure, after you set the UAC to 'off'. Surely you can understand that allowing any sort of file to run silently is a huge security risk?

I don't think this a uac issue, but rather the confirmation on whether to run unsigned programs. Instead of having it launch a batch file, why not just add it to the users login script for the domain?

My boss would like me to do it this way as a learning exercise before I go and break the login script.

This may help:
