systeminfo | find "OS Name" > %TEMP%\osname.txt
FOR /F "usebackq delims=: tokens=2" %%i IN (%TEMP%\osname.txt) DO set vers=%%i

Upload the batch as a dependency. Use the task "Launch a program" with the location of: $(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)\yourbatch.bat.
Also use a verify step that shows the shortcut has been deployed, otherwise the script will keep running. - jknox 12 years ago-
you good at scripting right will this script work
'===========
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objProcess = objShell.Environment("Process")
strDesktop = objProcess.Item("UserProfile") & "\Desktop\"
boolOverwrite = False
objFSO.CopyFile "\\server\share\shortcut.lnk", strDesktop, boolOverwrite

directory: $(KACE_SYS_DIR)
file:
parameters $(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)\teller.bat
what do i use for the file and how can i verify the shortcut is in place
thanks - brighstarcuit 12 years ago
I'd just use a script that unzips the shortcuts into place.
Use the verify task to determine XP by verifying that C:\Documents and Settings exists, then use on success to unzip your shortcut to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop.
Use remediation to unzip the shortcut to C:\Users\Public\Desktop\ for Win7.

You will probably have to map the file location on the machine by using $(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR) - jknox 12 years ago
There's always the desktop shortcut wizard under Scripting->Configuration Policy too.
Not 100% sure if this does all users though.
