I am very new to VBS scripting and would like some help to create a vbs logon script to check and make sure that the file does not exsist on the local account/profile directory first and then copy some files from a network location to a local account/profile that is currently logon to a PC. I did some online research and found this script. dim objFSO set objFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If objFSO.FileExists("C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\") = False Then objFSO.CopyFolder "\\server\share\*", "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\" objFSO.CopyFile "\\server\share\*.txt", "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\" End If When doing a test run of the script, I get a windows script host msg of the folowing: Error: path not found Code: 800A004C If some one can help me with this I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

You have to change this line: "\\server\share\*" to reflect your UNC path. "Computer security." — Oxymoron

I'd try changing it but got the same error. It looks like it is no able to find the path of C:\Documents and Settings\%username%. I tried using a test folder name 'test' instead of %username% and it worked so it seems that I need help on getting the correct UNC path for the logon user account/profile. What would be the correct UNC path to copy the files to a logon user?

You need to use the ExpandEnvironmentStrings() function. Set oShell = CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" ) username=oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%UserName%") dim objFSO set objFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If objFSO.FileExists("C:\Documents and Settings\username\") = False Then objFSO.CopyFolder "\\server\share\*", "C:\Documents and Settings\username\" objFSO.CopyFile "\\server\share\*.txt", "C:\Documents and Settings\username\" End If I do not know VBScript, but to me, this looks like it should work. "Computer security." — Oxymoron

Thanks, for getting back to me but I tried this and I am still getting the same error of path not found. It is telling me that the path on Line 6 is not found, which is; objFSO.CopyFolder "\\server\share\*", "C:\Documents and Settings\username\" Do you have any other ideas?

Well since I don't know VBScript, I'm not going to waste your time with useless VBScripts. Here is a solution in batch. @echo off if not exist "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%" ( goto :_copy ) else ( goto :eof ) :_copy net use t: \\server\share /user:domain\user password xcopy t:\*.txt "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%" Replace the italicized text with your information "Computer security." — Oxymoron

Just build the path and store it in a string: path=CreateObject("WScript.Shell").ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%UserProfile%\") Then just refer to THAT as needed: objFSO.CopyFolder "\\server\share\*", path
