    I am trying to copy a IE shortcut to a profile desktop. It errors out as
    Try 1:FTP Failed:1. îT Line#: 27 Cmd:SF messageboardmessageboard C:Documents and SettingsproDesktopmessageboard
    Here is line 27 of the script.
    SF “messageboard” “C:Documents and SettingsproDesktopmessageboard”

    What am I doing wrong?

    Have you tried XC instead of SF?

    Again, what about XC instead of SF? What about first copy all files to a temp dir and then copy them to the right directory? Maybe the files are locked because they already exist in the target dir.

    Ok, tried the XC. This doesn’t work.
    The script starts, system reboots but it hangs at the “Your system Administrator is now reconfiguring this Client” window.
    Here is the script

    [version]
    Number=messageboard
    Description= Place a shortcut to the messageboard on Pro desktop
    OS=XP
    Category=Other Packages
    USE_Pxe=NO

    ;


    QU “3”
    ;


    ;Check OS and Lock User
    ;


    CO “XP”
    LU
    ;


    ;Copy over new files
    ;


    XC “messageboard*” “C:Documents and SettingsproDesktop”
    ;
    ;


    ;Local Pause for package to install
    ;


    LP “30”
    ;


    EL

    In WDM, it shows the package status as “NOW”.
    Folder name is messageboardmessageboard
    the subfolder contains the shortcut named “messageboard” along with the CRC.Txt file.
    What am I doing wrong? 🙁

    OK, an update. I attempted to SF a simple text file using the same script, only changing the files contained in the folder to a txt file and changing the command from SF to XC.

    Could my network be blocking this?
    We are in a new building with an entire new cisco network.

    Don’t think so. If simple copy works for you I wouldn’t test around a lot anymore. Instead of that I would modify the files to copy and the script to a way that it copies the needed files to your unit and rename them to the correct ending afterwards.
    So your messageboard.lnk looks like messageboard.txt and will be renamed after the copy process.
    Can you test this?

    OK, I have it down to an issue with the shortcut itself. So we decided to change tactics. A co-worker who is a wiz at vb scripts created one for me to create the shortcut on the desktop.
    So now we run into this problem. During the EX command we get the following error: Create Process failed: 193
    It copies the vbs file to the correct directory. It just does not run it…
    The same vbs file works on my laptop.
    Thanks again, and
    Happy Holidays!

    The script is:

    Can you run the vbs manually on the V90L?
    What about the renaming option I suggested before?

    I tried the renaming of the shortcut, but it still sees it as on IE Shortcut and fails to copy.
    So we gave up on that and had a co-worker create a VBS script that creates an Icon on the all user desktop.
    The problem is the file copies over but fails to execute. Or errors out with this error Try 1:CreateProcess Failed:2 C:messageboard.vbs Line#: 29 Cmd:EX C:messageboard.vbs
    This error is if I use the following
    EX “C:messageboard.vbs”
    If I use this EX
    EX “C:windowssystem32cmd.exe /i C:messageboard.vbs”
    It shows as running in WDM but does not execute on the device.

    I can manually run the vbs script and it works.
    Not sure why this is. Here is the script. Note some lines are REMd out
    [version]
    Number=messageboard
    Description= Copies messageboard.vbs to c: and then executes the file. This will place a IE icon on all users desktop.
    OS=XP
    Category=other packages
    USE_Pxe=NO

    Ok, we solved the problem. Turns out you need to use the CSCRIPT comand. We changed the EX as follows:
    EX “CSCRIPT C:messageboardmessageboard.vbs”
    Adding the CSCRIPT command.
    Thanks for everything and Happy Holidays!!! And Happy Festivus!
