<br />
I have a script one-liner to create a GPresult,html on the user's desktop. <br />
<br />
gpresult /H c:\users\%username%\deskto<wbr />p\gpresult<wbr />.html<br />
<br />
Next, I would like to do the following:<br />
1. create a new directory on the target server where we are collecting these files &nbsp; \\servername\CollectLogs\%<wbr />username%<br />
2. xcopy the GPResult.html to that directory<br />
3. Spawn a window thanking the user for their help<br />
<br />
I appreciate your help doing this!<br />

CMD shell create dir, copy file and spawn text window

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

Shell Scripting

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
