Are these computers attached to a domain?

Well my thought process would be that with the advent of Windows 8, Microsoft would have added something like that as a Group Policy. Which is why I asked if they were part of a domain.

I don't know of any way to do what you are trying to do with any scripting language.

May I doing one computer, copy this file on server and copy from server and restart new computer using my .bat file. Is it work?

And how I can do this on a Group Policy? Maybe I have sufficient permissions.

What role do you play in this company? I can't imagine not being able to ask the Network Administrator to push this down as a group policy. That is where I would go first. The many years I worked in Network Administration all the Help Desk people and Administrators worked with each other to make the network the best it could be. If you are doing something without the Admins permission I would advise not too.

I'm IT **consored**, it's no helpdesk, but sometimes I must doing similar work. I'm between helpdesk and administrators. Don't worry. If I have permissions, I can do this. This is our company politics, because in each country are different requirements and approach to work. Trust me, there are rules modificated many years and there is no confusion or vulnerabilities.

So can you help me?

Maybe Group Policy won't be needed, and this will work
