Kace K1000 Scripting
I am trying to run a script to copy files from a specific location in the user folder to a network folder using %USERNAME%.
The idea is to periodically backup a users NK2 file. I am using xcopy to do the copy and the command works out side of Kace but doesn't work in Kace's scripting.
The basics are:
Directory: C:\Windows\System32
File: xcopy.exe
parameters /D "C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\*.*" "H:\outlook data"
Does anyone know another way of using Kace to copy out of the user profile? Or have any suggestions?

Answer Summary:
Running as a bat fixed it. I should have done that in the first place.

Who are you running the script as? By default everything runs as local system. This is probably why %username% isn't working.

Have you tried running it as a shell script? You should just be able to copy and paste your bat file right into the script text. Make sure you change the script name from script.sh to script.bat - dchristian 12 years ago

We are running v5.3.53053. I actully wasn't running it as a bat file but rather calling xcopy to run with these parameters. I will try it as a bat file. - nwhistler 12 years ago
