Has anybody deployed winlogbeat through GPO? I have a general plan I have worked out to try to get this to work however I want to see if I am missing anything or not thinking about this correctly.

Yes, two step process, both ran under "Computer"

1. Preferences \> WIndows Settings \> Files and make a copy of the Winlogbeat source files to the local PC, also make subdirectories for the data and logs folders.

2. Policies \> Windows Settings \> Scripts \> Startup and run the Powershell to install it. I'll paste the code that I used below.
