#117880 - 2004-04-14 06:05 PM Copy and @userid variable
schnorbitz schnorbitz Lurker Registered: 2003-07-17 Posts: 2	am a relative newbie with Kix and I need to update a file on all PC's across the WAN. For the XP/2000 machines it's fine as I can call a batch file which allows me to use the %username% variable. I can't use this method to copy the file onto 98 machines as the variable isn't recognised. So I've been trying to do it via the login script - without any success!! My code (which is probably rubbish) is :- ; replace pn.ini on 9x clients if ingroup("Citrix_pn") If @InWin = 2 copy "\\server\netlogon\pn.ini" "c:\windows\profiles\" +@userid+ "\application data\icaclient" endif endif Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks

Code: ; replace pn.ini on 9x clients if ingroup("Citrix_pn") If @InWin = 2 $sAppData= fnGetSpecialFolder("AppData") + "\icaclient" copy "\\server\netlogon\pn.ini" $sAppData endif endif

Also, must ensure that WSH is installed since Wintendos do not have it by default. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

As far as WSH in concerned, he did mention that the target audience is Windows 98, which does have WSH installed. The methods in my function require v1.0 of WSH, so that should be good for any client with WSH installed. Regarding the scriptlet in general, if I were doing it, I would add more error checking and verify that the paths exists before copying.
