A machine script can be run at bootup.
It runs with Administrative privileges and
can be used to install software (we do!).

Use gpedit.msc on the client to define a the startup script
-->Local Computer policy -->Computer Configuration
-->Windows Settings --> Scripts (Startup Shutdown)

The script may reside on a samba share.

We are using an imaging system to deploy machines
and all new machines have the script defined.

You could perhaps copy the file
%SystemRoot%\system32\Group Policy\Machine\Scripts\scripts.ini
to already deployed machines but I don't know if
it's sufficient 

ex of a scripts.ini:

[Startup]
0CmdLine=\\Sambaserver\Publicshare\Startup.cmd
0Parameters=
