Distribute files to user profiles at startup
Hello,
I am looking for a way to distribute pdf files from a network share to a user's local directory at startup.
Adobe Acrobat saves and accesses custom stamps in the AppData folder located in the users profile. I would like to distribute updated stamps to users from a central location or share.
How can I set up a process to copy the contents of a network folder to each users local appdata folder at startup? I was considering a group policy that would execute a batch file (xcopy perhaps). Not really sure how to go about it though.
Copy all PDF's:
From: \\servname\share\stampsfol der
To
Windows 7
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\ Roaming\Ad obe\Acroba t\10.0\Sta mps
Windows XP
C:\Documents and settings\yourname\Applicat ion Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Sta mps

Thanks very much. Took a few days to work out everything but it is finally working well
xcopy...source...%appdata%
GPPs are the preferred solution because they can be set to apply only once very easily, while a script requires extra lines.
