#19919 - 2002-04-15 11:30 AM Win2K copy command problem
Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	Hi folks I've got a problem with a very simple script I'm running with W2K - it works fine with Win98. The problem lies with the copy command - it just doesn't work! I'm using Kix2001 & W2K professional. Here's the problem part of the script: :WIN2K copy "c:\test.dat" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5" IF EXIST ("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\test.dat") MessageBox("Your anti-virus software has been configured.","Norton AntiVirus 7.6 Configuration",64,10) else MessageBox("There has been a problem. Your anti-virus software has NOT been configured. Please report this fault to the person who supplied this package.","Norton AntiVirus 7.6 Configuration",48) endif goto end I've tried different folders, different quotes, checked permissions with no joy at all... Please help, boffins... Gill

By default only 'Administrators' can write to the 'All Users' folders and 'Users' can only read and execute. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

Remember, NT/2000/XP may not be installed on the C: drive, so hard coded entries to C: would fail. By default this location has EVERYONE FULL NTFS rights. Here is another method of determing location. code: $DataLocation = READVALUE("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders", "Common AppData") $NavGRC = "$DataLocation\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\"

Sealeopard Sealeopard KiX Master Registered: 2001-04-25 Posts: 11165 Loc: Boston, MA, USA	NTDOC: I just checked three different Windows 2000 computers (two Professional, one Server, all default install with regards to secuirty settings in 'C:\Documnets and Settings/') and on those computers the 'C:\Documnets and Settings/All Users' area has 'Read & Execute' for 'Users' and 'Everyone'. So the 'copy' command in Gill's example would not work because of an 'Access denied' error. _________________________ There are two types of vessels, submarines and targets.

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	sealeopard, yes at the \Documnets and Settings\All Users location you're correct, however if you follow down the folder list to the location that Gill is using \Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5, it has EVERYONE FULL rights.

I've been using the following lines for 9x, NT/2k for the Norton GRC.DAT file

code:

 	If @inwin=1
			If Exist ("C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5")
				Shell '%COMSPEC% /C XCOPY "\\BETHESDA\Apps$\NAV\GRC.DAT" "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5" /D /H /I /R /Y > NUL'
			EndIf
	Else
			If Exist ("C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\")
		 		Shell '%COMSPEC% /C XCOPY "\\BETHESDA\Apps$\NAV\GRC.DAT" "C:\Program Files\Norton AntiVirus\" /D /H /I /R /Y > NUL'       
			EndIf
	EndIf

NTDOC NTDOC Administrator Registered: 2000-07-28 Posts: 11634 Loc: Space	Hi mahjohn, In general this code is okay, but Symantec changed the location depending on the version you use. Also as an FYI, it is not a good idea to hard code the drive value. The location C:\Program Files\Norton Antivirus would be okay for Windows 9x, since it is the same in newer and older versions. Windows XP was not supported by the earlier versions. The XCOPY switches used are not needed. The GRC.DAT file is read and then imported into the Registry and then the file is deleted. /D Date can not be compared (file on client should not exist) /H File is neither Hidden or System /I You're only copying one file, not multiple /R File should not exist on client /Y File should not exist on client [ 15 April 2002, 21:59: Message edited by: NTDOC ]
