Hi everyone! I am currently using KiXtart to setup printers, map drives and (hopefully) soon manage user icons.
Ill post my script here and then ask my questions
 Code:
;=============================================
; App Shortcuts - Use Robocopy
;=============================================

If InGroup("Domain Users")
SHELL 'robocopy.exe "\\SERVER-A\NETLOGON\Desktop Icons" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\"'
EndIf


Currently this part of the script will not work. The other two parts before it do (mapping printers/drives) so I know KiX works. I have robocopy.exe in my \\server\NETLOGON\ folder. Can someone enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong? Also I would like the script to remove all icons currently in the users profile and then add these back in. Could someone tell me how to do this?
Thanks
-Ian

Hi, thanks for that little bit of info, I saw what was wrong (it needed to be "...desktop" no \) But now I have just one more question before I roll out the script, can I have KiX check the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop" and look for the files that it is robocopy-ing and should they be there delete them?
Thanks

But Im talking about two different dirs. How would I use that? One in the All Users desktop and one in the %UserProfile%s. Is there anyway to just clear All Users at logon/startup?
Thanks

Is there a reason you need to use Robocopy instead of KiXtart's built-in copy?

 Code:
If InGroup("Domain Users")
     DEL "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\*.ico" ; you wanted to remove all their desktop icons, correct?
     COPY "\\SERVER-A\NETLOGON\Desktop Icons\*.*" "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\*.*"
EndIf


To use the "all users" profile instead, just change "%USERPROFILE% to %ALLUSERSPROFILE%.
