copy a file to %userprofile% during OOBE

[mrloopy]

Hi,

I'm trying to copy a file (imon.ini) to the new user's home directory when they first startup. In my unattend.xml that is called during sysprep, I have a runsynchronous command: copy c:\imon.ini %userprofile% (imon.ini is prestaged on c:\).

But when I reseal and check the user's directory, that file is not there. Does anyone know why this wouldn't work? Is the C:\users\%userprofile% directory not created until after OOBE section is completed?

Any ideas would be appreciated...

copy is a built-in command not an executable.

try cmd.exe /c copy .....

That was it, thanks.

This is similar to the question that I asked...

Does anyone know if the FirstLogonCommands\SynchronousCommand in autounattend.xml setting works during an upgrade process to add a link to the desktop of the users profile by using a similar command like?

cmd.exe /c copy c:\<mydir>\*.lnk %userprofile%\desktop

This is during the OOBE pass of the Upgrade

Cheers

I have managed to test the above solution during a DVD Upgrade from MCE to Home Premium,
