Copying files from network location
Hi,
I need to copy files from a network location to D: drive as a postinstallion task in K2000.
i have created a BAT (Windows Script) but its not working, it could either be i need to specify 'run-as' paramaters but not too sure how to accoplish this?![]()
full code:
@echo off
rem TRANSFER.BAT transfers all software files from
rem the software drive to the D drive
xcopy "\\SERVER1\software\Current Deployment\Laptop\Applications" d:\Utility /s /k /i
if errorlevel 4 goto lowmemory
if errorlevel 2 goto abort
if errorlevel 0 goto exit
:lowmemory
echo Insufficient memory to copy files or
echo invalid drive or command-line syntax.
goto exit
:abort
echo You pressed CTRL+C to end the copy operation.
goto exit
:exit

Does the user that executes the script (LocalSystem?) have access to the network share? Try giving 'Domain Computers' read access on the share (this ofcourse assumes you're on a domain)

I agree with pjgeutjens, you need to provide the correct permissions to the share. This will vary depending on your unattned(sysprep) file. If you are not on your domain, then remember that you are logged in as whatever user you selected to "autologon" as, typically Administrator.

The answer file enables the local admin account.
The computer also joins the domain during the scripted install.
Auto logs in with the local admin account.
I gave domain computers permissions to the network folder but still no love. Can i specify run-as parameters within the batchscript or the scripted install?

So you think that admin-level credentials in clear-text files is a good idea? LOL

No, I don't. However there was no positive or constructive advice attached to the earlier unhelpful post.

It's talking about null session shares. This way no Authentication has to take place. Works with WIndows 2003. For Windows 2008 search google for Null Session/Anonymous Shares.
Also remember that the Local System account CAN NOT gain network access by design. It can only get data which is stored locally on the server.....
