Hi folks,
I have created a group policy with a shutdown script to copy a local
file to a network location, and it doesn't work. I want a shutdown
script so the script will run regardless of who logs off / restarts the
box. The script appears to run, but won't copy the file to the network
location, I'm guessing because network connectivity is severed by the
time the file is ready to be copied. I really only want the script to
run on either startup or shutdown, as opposed to logon / logoff, but I
don't care whether it runs at shutdown or startup. Any suggestions on
how to copy my file before I lose network connectivity (assuming that's
my problem)??? Thanks.

Did you try it as a startup script? There are other options that are driven
by real Client Side Extensions they are not free ware but allow for things
like file collection etc. If curious take a look at the site in my

Hi,

Make sure Domain Computers Group and System Group has Write access to
the share you are trying to copy the file to. Also, make sure it is a
UNC path \\server\share and not a mapped drive. Drives are mapped
on logon so you can’t really do it to a mapped drive.

Cheers,

Lara
