/D copies the newest files. What do you want? That sounded like it.

Basically you are looking to sync the D:\ folder with the C:\ folder, but don't want to overwrite all the files because it takes longer.

No batch file can do this, but you can get dos software which does.

It's just a simply xcopy command.

xcopy c:\Forms10G\forms90\internet.exe c:\path\to\startupscriptsfolder
xcopy c:\Forms10G\forms90\internet.exe c:\path\to\shutdownscriptsfolder

HI,

I am facing main problem is path, we can't find "c:\to\startupfolder" we are doing following steps manually,

1)run "gpedit.msc" command
2)click on windows settings
3)click startup and shutdown folder
3)browse the file and put into above folders(startup & shutdown).

so i want to this automatically (using batch file) ?

HI,

I tried this path before itself(c:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts) , But during startup and shutdown time my batch file is not running,

If i will go set these manually
1)Run gpedit.msc command
2)click on wnidows settings
3)Browse files into scrpits(startup and shutdown )

in these above steps its working fine.

Please tell me How can automate these steps?

OR

Is there any settings the path "c:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts" so, the batch file should run?

Thanks,
Anand

You need the last folder name, and need to do it for both startup and shutdown

HI,

I called the my batch file in below Path,

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Scripts\Shutdown\Upload.bat"

So my Upload.bat file is not running during shutdown time?

Is this path is correct?

If this not correct please tell me which path i should call ?

Thanks your time,

Don't you have to reboot after changing Group Policy settings? I seem to remember that from somewhere.

Also, being on a domain will make a difference.

What's in the upload.bat?

No, he said that you have to reboot for system changes to take place. However, with Windows XP, a simple logoff and logon will accomplish the same settings refresh.

Wait a second, you are using a batch file AS the shutdown script? I thought you were using the batch file to copy the shutdown scripts to the folder.

A shutdown script must be in VBScript (.vbs) or JScript (.js).
