script for running a file from the server Paloma 4/30/2007 11:42:01 AM Hello, I need to run a file from the server to all the computers on the Domain, I was wondering that if I can do it with a simple script. I used one script before to change all the postal address for all the user on the AD, but in this case I am not sure where to start for. The file extension is .pat and the conditions are: If the file is already in the computer, update it if not run it Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks

You may be able to use this example VBScript to deploy executables linked here: http://www.rlmueller.net/Deploy.htm This program deploys to the computers in a domain group. You could specify "Domain Computers". The script copies an executable to each computer and runs it. The executable could be a batch file that performs the actions you want. -- Richard Mueller Microsoft MVP Scripting and ADSI Hilltop Lab - http://www.rlmueller.net --
