# Executing Custom Scripts for Computer

Administrators would have the necessity to execute Custom Scripts, before or after deploying configurations. In some cases, executing custom scripts will help the administrators to perform some of the complex tasks at ease. Custom scripts can be executed during system startup or refresh cycle. The first step in executing a custom script is to add Custom Scripts to the Endpoint Central MSP's Script Repository, for them to be deployed to the target users.
