  • 1.  Distribute files to Windows clients

    Posted Jan 16, 2015 10:23 AM

    Hello

     

    I'm looking for the best way to distribute a few files to %WINDIR% and %USERPROFILE%

    I already think about a few way of doing it, but i'm still looking for the best way of doing it.

    I would like to distribute the files locally via a package, then execute a script to copy the files to %windir% and %userprofile%.   But i'm stuck since I'm not able to find where the files are stored temporarily by  SMA.

    example

    script.cmd

         xcopy %packagesourcefolder% %userprofile%\somefolder\

     

    thanks!

    Hi,

    All packages delivered to the folder "C:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Agents\SoftwareManagement\Software Delivery" and placed under the sub-folder with the GUID-like name.

    HTH,

    Alex.

    The command should execute from the package directory. So XCopy *.* c:\windows\somefolder would work.

    Check out my Java deployment article, it may help you out.  I do something similar copying from the package directory to the local machine (to the right location) once CMS puts the files down.  Check out steps 11 & 12 for reference.

    You can specify where to put the files (in a folder of your choice) for a package delivery. It's in the advanced options for the quick delivery task or managed software policy. I'm not at my console at the moment so can't tell you the exact place. That way, you can ensure that the folder the files are temporarily delivered to won't change, and your script to copy them to their final destination will always find them.
