The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Script not working - Delete and create icons in allusersproflie with login script

Asked by ArmyGroo in Windows Batch Scripting, Windows XP Operating System, VB Script

Hello,
Environment - Server 2003, clients XPsp2

I have a login script I want to update and it is not working. The added the DEL line and it does not seem to be doing anything.  I had the script located in GPMC - Computer Config / Windows settings / startup script.  That worked until I added the DEL line.  It gives me an error of UNC paths not supported.  I tried adding the script instead to - User Config / windows settings / startup.  It does not seem to do anything in this location. I have tried variations on the DEL line.  DEL "c:\documents and settings\%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop\*.*"

The copy function still works but it does not delete anything.

Error -
 '\\domain.org\sysvol\domain.org\policies\ {12312312}\machine\scripts\startup'
CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory.
UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory.
**Additional error if I throw this in User Configuration**
The filename,directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

***************************************************************************
@echo off

REM -- Copy icons to desktop

DEL "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop\*.*"

xcopy /y "\\domain.org\NETLOGON\desktopIcons\Users\*.*" "%allusersprofile%\desktop"

:exit
exit
