GPP File Extension Update action
My understanding is, if the source file is newer than the destination then the source will be copied over the destination file/.
If the destination file doesn't exist, it will be created.
Is this correct?
I have a folder with a file in, I have a GPP file preference with action set to update.
the source file is newer than the destination but when gpupdate is ran it does not update the destination
What could be causing this?
Event logs are not showing anything, and I've double checked the source and destination locations are correct.
The preference is targeted, and my test machine meets the targeting requirement

Hi there
I should've made it clearer, the GPP CSE in question is under a Computer configuration

Either way it should work.
Have your run the Group Policy Results wizard from within GPMC and then expanded the setting in question.
There will be either a successful result or some sort of error.
See Image below for an example.
Also can you post a screenshot of your Settings you are trying to apply for a file?

what if you change it to replace rather than update.

Replace works fine.
However, not all computer will have the file in the first place for it to be replaced.
So I guess I would have to create two preferences, Create and Replace.

Replace isn't ideal bandwidth wise as every 2 hours all computers in the scope of my GPO will be copying these files across the network
I only the GPO to do it if the destination doesn't match the source.. I though the 'update' action would do that?

Sorry realise my last comment doesn't read well... it was a little rushed!

I do see one setting that I leave on all the time that is not enabled in yours.
I have the checkbox for Archive enabled.

Hi yo_bee
Ticking the Archive option does not have any effect.
The destination file is still not "updated"

Did you try Replace and see if it works?

Sorry if that last reply came across rude
I do appreciate you taking your time to help me with this issue.
Replace does work, however if the file source doesn't already exist then the file can't be updated.
The Update action at least creates the file and then ... supposedly should update it.

It did not.

Thanks though for the clarification.
