Getting the hang of it

Hi all,

I'm trying to copy a file from the DC to all computers in the domain. I have already made the script and succeed with the printers configuration.

Now, my problem is that sevral computers in the domain has a local language XP OS. which means that the desktop folder is in HEBREW, nothing i have tried worked. It only works on computers with English XP.

Will be glad to have some ideas....

Thanx in advance.

Post the relevant portion of code. As far as file and folder paths, KiX should be agnostic, not caring about language. Just make sure you are pulling the path from the registry and not manufacturing it.

If it is the Desktop you are looking for, you can find it in the registry like Les said. I think it goes like this:
Code:

Dim $Desktop
$Desktop = ReadValue("HKEY_USERS\"+@SID+"\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Explorer\Shell Folders","Desktop")
$Desktop

Looking up some information about "Shell Folders", I found this article: Windows Confidential: The Sad Story of the Shell Folders Key. ALso very interesting...

Hi all and thanx for the response.

The code is:

copy "\\dc\data$\churi.url" "c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop\" this one works
copy "\\dc\data$\churi.url" "c:\documents and settings\all users\שולחן העבודה\" this one doesn't works
You might not see the Hebrew text since you dont have the fonts.
It's should be a very simple "copy" but it seems that it doesn't recognize the Hebrew desktop folder.

As I said, since you are "manufacturing" the path, it is doomed to fail.

Maybe
Code:

Dim $Desktop
$Desktop = ReadValue("HKEY_USERS\"+@SID+"\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Explorer\Shell Folders","Desktop")
copy "\\dc\data$\churi.url" $Desktop

in the logon script or so....

Whoops, I think my example copies it to the "current users" desktop, not to the "all users".
But probably there will be somewhere another key in the registry...

could it be this path?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

The key is "common desktop" and the value is "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\desktop" [of course the desktop in HEBREW]

It sure looks like it. Regular users (no admin privs) can not change anything in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE part of the registry on Win2k and up.
Reading should be no problem.

You need admin rights to write to the All Users desktop.

Wrong. Actually, the "key" is "desktop". The value name is "common desktop" and value data is "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\desktop".

Good guide to what? KiXtart ?

There is the manual that ships with it in the zip.
There is http://www.kixhelp.com/Downloads/KORG-FAQ.chm
There is http://sclogic.vo.llnwd.net/o2/downloads/kix/KiXhelp451.zip

The best place is right here on the board. Typically "most" questions are answered in minutes and rarely do any go unanswered for more than a few hours.

We also have an Examples forum (though not very many examples)
http://www.kixtart.org/ubbthreads/postlist.php?Cat=0&Board=UBB11

There is also a book, but not free:
http://www.kixscripts.com/book/

Hope that helps.

Whaaaw, fnAllSpecialFolders() seems to me even better then peeking in the registry. Thanks Doc for the links.

Maybe something like this. (untested)

Though you can also create shortcuts on the desktop as well instead of copying if you like.

Break On
Dim $SO
$SO=SetOption('Explicit','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoVarsInStrings','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoMacrosInStrings','On')
 
Dim $SourceFolder, $DestinationFolder
$SourceFolder = "\\dc\data"+'$'+"\churi.url"
$DestinationFolder = GetSpecialFolders(25)
Copy $SourceFolder '"' + $DestinationFolder[1] + '"'
'Copy error: ' + @ERROR + ' - ' + @SERROR ?
 
Function GetSpecialFolders($Folder)
  Dim $objFolderItem
  $objFolderItem=CreateObject('Shell.Application').Namespace($Folder).Self
  $GetSpecialFolders=$objFolderItem.Name,$objFolderItem.Path
EndFunction

FYI - This is NOT the correct way though to do it if you're attempting to do it from your desktop as it will read YOUR path and not their path.

To do it remotley you should read their registry and find their desktop.
