Man I should have known that! I have gotten so used to just using the C$ and D$ admins shares I forgot all about the admin$ share.<br />

Thanks!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I want to copy a file to or from the %systemroot%\system32 directory on a mix of Windows 2000 and Wndows XP workstations. The systemroot of the Windows 2000 machines is C:\Winnt and the systemroot of the Windows XP machines is C:\Windows. I use a script that loops through a list of workstations, but the repeating command is, for example:<br />
<br />
copy \\&lt;hostname&gt;\c$\winnt\syst<wbr />em32\logfi<wbr />le.txt<br />
<br />
Obviously this will fail on the WIndows XP machines. I would like to use the systemroot variable, but when I try:<br />
<br />
copy \\&lt;hostname&gt;\%systemroot%\<wbr />system32\l<wbr />ogfile.txt<wbr /><br />
<br />
it fails because the variable is being resolved on my machine and comes out the wrong syntax anyway (\\&lt;hostname&gt;\c:\winnt...)<wbr /><br />
<br />
How can I use one command that will resolve the remote host's systemroot variable in the copy command? Or what alternatives do I have for accomplishing the same task?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Accessing remote %systemroot% using UNC

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
