[Server] Auto-start files without logging in?

[On Holiday]

Just testing some disaster recovery on a Windows server..

I basically need 3 .bat files and an .exe to auto-run when the Windows server boots up.

Now I've added these to Startup (%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup) which starts them automatically, but that's only as soon as I RDP to the server, which isn't ideal.

What would be the best way to go about getting the files running without having to log-in first?

Thanks

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I imagine you could also use a group policy to get them to run at startup (not logon) or create a windows service from them and define a startup type (automatic?) and also a run as account if requried
