You can use GP for log-on and log-on scripts. Otherwise you may want to use
Scheduled Tasks.

Thanks for fast reply but i havent formulated question correctly.

Can I run scheduled task at specified time using group policy on the
computers/users where GP is applied? For instance i have shared application
which has to run at 10.00am on all computers/users, do i have to go to each
computer and schedule that aplication to run thru task scheduler or i can
simply do it thru GP?

Yes, you can use a GPO. You will have to use a start up script to accomplish
this task. Microsoft has lots of scripts on their script website.
Specifically, one to schedual a task when the system boots up. You can
configur parameters for the task in the script. I will warn you, this one it
kinda tricky for a script but here you go.

You must apply this to the Computer Configuration | Windows Settings |
Scripts | Startup GPO.
