Hi,
I have a Windows Server 2003 domain with 100 Windows XP Pro SP3 and 4 Vista Business 32x machines.
We have 5 font files (TTF) that we need to deploy to all the computers, I have so far tried the following with out success; Put the font files into the netlogon folder in a subfolder called fonts. Thencreated a GPO with a script (.bat) in the machine startup containing the following text – “copy \\mydomain.com\NETLOGON\ITC_QUAY_TTF_PC\*.* %systemroot%\fonts”
If I then do a GPUPDATE /FORCE then GPRESULT I cab see the GPO is applied. I tried rebooting the machine 3 – 4 times but it does not apply and there is nothing in the event log that looks related. I then tried manually running the script when logged on as admin and it works. I tried running the script while logged on as a normal user but it says access denied! I have given all users full permission to the fonts but from my understanding only admins and power users can copy / modify the %systemroot%. I thought that the startup script would overcome this.
Any advice out there?
PS sorry for the war and peace 🙂
