Identifying user specific file
|
I need to check in my logon script to see if the user has MS Word, then copy a file to their user directory. I can't seem to figure out how to check user specific. I have tried many combinations of the if statement.
If Exist ("C:\Documents and Settings\"+@userid+"\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dot")
copy @lserver+"\netlogon\Normal.dot" "C:\Documents and Settings\"+@userid+"\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates\"
Endif

Re: Identifying user specific file

You should never embed @UserID in the path but rather pull the path from the registry. The reason and method has been discussed here many times.

A little example.
You could also use the environment variable %appdata%.
Code:
Break on
$appdata = ReadValue("HCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders", "AppData")
If Exist ($appdata + "\Microsoft\Templates\Normal.dot")
Copy @lserver+"\netlogon\Normal.dot" $appdata + "\Microsoft\Templates\"
EndIf | ggirten |
