Another thought, instead of copying a file, why not a shortcut, link to the file in a central location that avoids having multiple copies that might have to periodically get updated where a link will reflect the file from central location that can be updated at will.. And set to read only by users..

Hi <br />
<br />
We have Windows 2012 Domain controllers and Windows 10 and windows 7 workstations in our network.<br />
<br />
I have a Microsoft word file and i want to copy this file to Public Desktop ( All users desktop) <br />
C:\Users\Public\Desktop<br />
<br />
Secondly if the file is already copied to the public desktop , i would like the GPO to ignore the copy .<br />
<br />
Please post me the best way to do this.<br />
We use login.vbs &nbsp;Script for the staff when they login.<br />
Will it be best to copy this word file using the VBS script or through GPO.<br />
<br />
Any tutorials much appreciated thanks in advance.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
