Login Scritpts and GPOs

[steve]

Hi All

I have seen that Startup (Computer) login scripts are put into folder
\\domain\SysVol\domain\Policies\<number>\Machine\Scripts\Startup

Ho can I reference such folder into a login script so that I can have the
script copy files form this folder?

Thank you!

Hi

When you say a "login script", do you mean a script which is placed in the
same folder as you mentioned? If you really mean a login script, this is a
bad idea.

Anyway, the answer you're looking for is to reference myfile.dat as
%~dp0myfile.dat

Hope this helps

Login scripts are invariably located in the "netlogon" share.
The physical location is irrelevant.

Thank you for your reply.

Yes I mean a script placed in that folder.

Why is this a bad idea?

Thank you!

A script in the same folder is fine. A script from outside that folder
referencing \\company.com\sysvol\company.com\policies\... is not very
elegant.
