Good Afternoon,
I am new to vbscipting, could any one help with the following issue.
I am trying to create a vbscript that copies a file from one location to another, for some reason this does not happen I do not get any errors return back. As well as this I would like overwrite the relevant file if it exists (if you could provide this in the script)
The 'script' is as follows
'Developed by M Mustafa
'11/09/2007 11:53
On Error Resume Next
'Get the username of the currently logged on user
strUserName = GetUserName()
'If the user cannot be determined then display a warning
If (strUserName = "") Then
Msgbox ("Unable to determine the logged on user - Please contact the Helpdesk")
End If
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.Fi
fso.CopyFile "C:\Program files\Citrix\ICA Client\appsrv.ini", "C:\Documents and Settings\" & strUserName & "\Application Data\ICAClient"
'Function to get the username of the currently logged on user
Function GetUserName
Set objNetwork = Wscript.CreateObject("WScr
'Get username
RC = objNetwork.UserName
'Set username variable
If RC <> "" Then
GetUserName = RC
'If username is not known then set variable to blank
Else
GetUserName = ""
End If
End Function
Thanks,
Mus.

Hi Mus
This is because you have missed out a back slash...
The fso-copyfile line should look like this (with a \ after Application Data\ICAClient) :
fso.CopyFile "C:\Program files\Citrix\ICA Client\appsrv.ini", "C:\Documents and Settings\" & strUserName & "\Application Data\ICAClient\"
As far as overwriting goes, the CopyFile() method does not care if the file exists in the destination folder - it will overwrite it by default.

Hi Mus,
Please find the modified script.
'*************************
On Error Resume Next
'Get the username of the currently logged on user
strUserName = GetUserName()
'If the user cannot be determined then display a warning
If (strUserName = "") Then
Msgbox ("Unable to determine the logged on user - Please contact the Helpdesk")
End If
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.Fi
fso.CopyFile "C:\Program files\Citrix\ICA Client\appsrv.ini", "C:\Documents and Settings\" & strUserName & "\Application Data\ICAClient\",TRUE
'Function to get the username of the currently logged on user
Function GetUserName
Set objNetwork = Wscript.CreateObject("WScr
'Get username
RC = objNetwork.UserName
'Set username variable
If RC <> "" Then
GetUserName = RC
'If username is not known then set variable to blank
Else
GetUserName = ""
End If
End Function

OK i think all you need to do is this:
On Error Resume Next
'Get the username of the currently logged on user
strUserName = GetUserName()
'If the user cannot be determined then display a warning
If (strUserName = "") Then
Msgbox ("Unable to determine the logged on user - Please contact the Helpdesk")
End If
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.Fi
fso.CopyFile "C:\Program files\Citrix\ICA Client\appsrv.ini", "C:\Documents and Settings\" & strUserName & "\Application Data\ICAClient\"
'Function to get the username of the currently logged on user
Function GetUserName
Set objNetwork = Wscript.CreateObject("WScr
'Get username
RC = objNetwork.UserName
'Set username variable
If RC <> "" Then
GetUserName = RC
'If username is not known then set variable to blank
Else
GetUserName = ""
End If
End Function
Try that and let me know if it works
