I presume you are not using the latest KiX version?
Code:
If NOT @LOGONMODE
Break On
EndIf
If Exist("\\@WKSTA\C$\")
? "Yeah"
Else
? "No"
EndIf
? "Error " + @ERROR + ": " + @SERROR
? "KiX Version: " + @KIX
Returns for me
Code:
Yeah
Error 0: The operation completed successfully.
KiX Version: 4.53
What do you get?

well, that's the weird thing.
he said he used 4.53 and that surely has no issue with undoubled $.
checked and 4.10 is the first version that does not require doubling the $ sign.
so, he is using really old version.
I just verified all servers and infact all are using kix32.exe 4.53.0
here is the working code.
Code:
$dest = "\\" + @WKSTA + "\d$$\imas\kix\scripts"
$source = "\\unpiox54pn\UHT_IMAS\Citrix\kix\Scripts\*.*"
If Not Exist($dest)
MD "\\" + @WKSTA + "\d$$\imas\kix\scripts"
EndIf
Shell '%COMSPEC% /c xcopy /E /Q /Y "'+$Source+'" "'+$Dest+'"'

Am I missing something?
Both work for me with 4.53...
Ran each code twice. First time got "No" and the directory is created. Second time got "Yes".
With each of the scripts.
Code:
Break On
$dest = "\\" + @WKSTA + "\c$\script\blablabla"
If NOT Exist($dest)
?"No"
MD $dest
Else
?"Yes"
EndIf
? "Error " + @ERROR + ": " + @SERROR
? "KiX Version: " + @KIX
Code:
Break On
$dest = "\\" + @WKSTA + "\c$$\script\blablabla"
If NOT Exist($dest)
?"No"
MD $dest
Else
?"Yes"
EndIf
? "Error " + @ERROR + ": " + @SERROR
? "KiX Version: " + @KIX

No
Error 53: The network path was not found.
KiX Version: 4.53
However I used this at the top of the script.
Code:
If Not @LogonMode
Break On
Else
Break Off
EndIf
Dim $SO
$SO=SetOption('Explicit','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoVarsInStrings','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoMacrosInStrings','On')
$SO=SetOption('WrapAtEOL','On')
So I would say it is the forgiving nature of KiXtart, though to me almost rather a BUG
I see it potentially allowing a copy that should not be allowed maybe.

Well, then lets discuss the set options and why it does work without them, versus why it does not work with the single $ or the $$ as the code stands.
there is no reasonable possibility short of OS issues that the root admin hidden shares would not exist. Thus the reason I do not check for it
as documented in the help file and other documents I have read, my approach is a completely reasonable and efficient approach to accomplishing the end goal.
Is there a better way to approach this within kix that I am missing? Please show or explain to me how and why? Really, I do not pretend to be an expert in anything.

When KiXtart was first released, variables and macros were used in strings.
To indicate that a value with a $ is not a variable, or a value with a @ is not a macro, you have to double that sign.
"$var" is referring to a var
"@KIX" is referring to a macro
"$$var" is the string $var
"@@KIX" is the string @KIX
"var$" is no variable but refers to a hidden share, like "\\server\var$\deeper"
Apparently, in early versions of KiXtart, you had to write: "\\server\var$$\deeper"
Now with the options NoVarsInStrings and NoMacrosInStrings set to On, you should get your variables and macros out of your strings. If you set NoVarsInStrings to On, you should also never double the $ in "\\server\var$\deeper".
So What I do not understand in your answer to your own question: you have KiX 4.53 and you say that you have a problem with a string like "\\server\var$\deeper"
To answer your question about the approach
I would:
- Set Break On in logon scripts
- Set Break Off in any other script
- Set Option Explicit to have to declare and for not mistyping my variables
- Set Option NoVarsInStrings On and get Vars out of strings
- Set Option NoMacrosInStrings On and get Macros out of strings
- Set Option WrapAtEOL to On to have a good idea about long screen output during coding
But of course, these are my personal preferences
Code:
If NOT @LogonMode
Break On
Else
Break Off
EndIf
Dim $SO
$SO=SetOption('Explicit','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoVarsInStrings','On')
$SO=SetOption('NoMacrosInStrings','On')
$SO=SetOption('WrapAtEOL','On')
