Thought I'd try here, VBScript AD Issue
Hi,
Here's what I need to do, I need to move a folder from the local machine to a folder in a home drive, which may or may not exist depending on the user I deploy it to. The requirement is to move the folder from INSTALLDIR which is local to the machine to a folder on a O:\Drive which is the users homedrive. It's got to be the fixed drive letter as this is the way our system is designed here.
Below is my sample script, It doesn't work because I get a "Permission denied" error, Line 4, Char 4. I have rights to my homedrive obviously and can carry out this task by way of a manual move.
Why does I get this error if I try and move it via a VBScript? Anybody got any ideas?
Sample Script
dim filesys
set filesys=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If filesys.FolderExists("c:\program files\factset\user data") Then
filesys.MoveFolder "c:\program files\factset\user data", "o:\config\factset\user data"
End If

You'll want to use copyfolder instead of movefolder. Movefolder will always fail when trying to move folders across different volumes.

Try double-quotes in the path when there's spaces.
i.e., If filesys.FolderExists(""c:\program files\factset\user data"") Then
i.e., If filesys.FolderExists(""c:\program files\factset\user data"") Then
