Hi again

Just wondering wot peeps feel is the best way to copy files from win2k server to client win2k using gpo.

OK.... lets make it a little easier..

All i want to do is copy three files when a user logins. I can write the batch file but dont seem to be able to get the client name of who is logining in.

ne suggestions ??

%username%

is what you are looking for, or to be more specific:

IF %USERNAME%==Name GOTO :BLA

or

IF %USERNAME%==Name COPY source destination

that should do the trick (note: the comparison is case sensitive)

hmmmmmm

i must be missing summit....

i add this to the logon script in gpo but it dont work

copy "\\server\scripts\*.*" "\\testputer\c$\documents and settings"

the scripts directory is a share and the quotes as most know are because of the spaces in the command line...

The above works fine if run from a cmd line just not from gpo

I know the script is run as i added a net use command and that share appears but the files arent copied!!

ne1 ne ideas.... can i view the script as its run????

you could try cmdow (http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/downloads.htm) to position/view the script window, you also may want to remove "@echo off"

also since you are trying to copy the files to an admin share, make sure that the user the script is run on is an admin!
