trying to achieve automation, need assistance

I have created a deployment script to automate desktop deployment. I have
enabled autologon using the local administrator account... But I am trying to
figure out the best way to get the script to run at startup...

Now, I know vbscript has a GPO interface but I have no idea how I would
disable the deployment.vbs script from running at logon. I could put the
script in the startup folder, but how would I remove it automatically? I
couldn't delete the script while the script is running could i?

Any thoughts?

Have you thought about using a startup script? The only problem here is
that you wouldn't be running anything as a user account, but as the computer
account, so appropriate permissions would need to be set in order for the
computer account to access the resources it needs.

Or, you could place your script into the runonce key (and keep having the
script place itself in there until your deployments were complete). Maybe
create a 'cleanup' command that would run the last time, again from the
runonce reg key, that would remove your folders that contained the worker
scripts.

Just some ideas...
